Go to the 2000's, select 2001 and uncheck everything but "news".

Did that, but didn't find any particularly interesting. What am I supposed to see exactly?

9/11 I presume.

Already lived it, don't really need to do it again.

But I did it anyway and it's interesting to see the complete shift in tone from pre-9/11 to post-9/11 coverage. Everyone was so positive and excited pre-9/11 despite the fact that we were already plummeting into a recession.

I'd forgotten about that.
