Media slogans

Various slogans and captions appeared on various media to brand coverage of the terrorist attack, its after-effects, and the response. The slogans for United States media appeared on the bottom of the television screen, in a patriotic red, white, and blue motif, sometimes with an explicit graphic of the American flag.

Examples:

• "America Attacked", "A Nation United" (ABC)
• "Attack on America", "A Nation Challenged", "Day of Terror", "Portraits of Grief" (The New York Times)
• "America's New War", "War Against Terror" (CNN)
• "War on Terror" (FOX News)
• "America on Alert" (MSNBC)

The Onion parodied this phenomenon with their own slogan, "Holy Fucking Shit: Attack On America" and a fake TV schedule parodying the coverage.

US government

• Enduring Freedom—name for US-led military response
• Infinite Justice—original name for US-led military response, dropped after religious overtones were pointed out by a reporter at a press briefing
