I remember watching this. And what a STUNNING difference in how our media NOW COVERS OUR WARS. There's no hype here. NBC DID NOT adopt the government's moniker for the "operation." Gumble reminds viewers early that there was no formal declaration of war. The studio is subdued, no visual distractions. The narration is matter of fact but not boring. It's PROFESSIONAL, not glamorized. This is also the first war the media was not allowed to witness up close. And it made the career of Katy Couric.

I was born on this day

And the war is considered over as of last month with Iraq, 20 years later.

I remember this day. I was laying on my M1A1 Abrams in the middle of the Desert and the jets flying over us woke me up and then I realized it was "GAME ON!"

@NewzTube Gotta admit this is kind of neat considering I was born 13 days earlier.

I wonder if the January 17th, 1991 "Today" show was broadcast live in all time zones (meaning that California viewers saw the program beginning at 6 A.M. PST; given that the show began an hour earlier than usual, at 6 A.M. EST).

@altfactor NBC News coverage continued all night untill this show began at 6amET/3amPT so it was seen live in all timezones (rather than delayed) for a marathon 6 hours.

@NewzTube And it was commercial free for the entire Today show?
