3. CBS Radio in NYC chided the event for seeming more like a union rally
than a commemoration.

Assholes.

4. So did CNN
I was shocked too!
They did report that the company refused to listen to workers striking for a safer workplace.

6. No - just that the fire
occured not long after the strike.
They had a descendant of one of the women who died in the fire. He works to make sure she did not die in vain. Currently there are threats to that, her said.

9. CNN will be running the HBO program about it - Sat. 11 PM ET
PBS American Experience ran theirs a couple of weeks ago. It was devastating.

10. Let me guess, the lead was about how those negligent...
workers cost the Triangle Shirtwaist Company a lot of money by dying.
