The problem I see in my own circles: If the news outlet you consume (notice, consuming does not necessarily mean reflecting on what you consume) does not report on certain facts, those facts do not exist. Or, if there is an alternative outlet reporting on those facts, those facts immediately become fiction. That is where we are at this moment in time, when it comes to the decades of Propaganda since 9/11. So yes, the US should be afraid that peoples attention starts to wander in those four days, but I do not think it will change all that much.
