Topic: The U.S. Media's Priorities are Screwed Up.

I'm not talking about the lamestream media's socialist agenda (this time) but rather it's priorities in general news reporting.
Watching TV on Sunday, 9-11 , there was one subject that dominated , and that was the death of One 97 year old broad who did little more than race pigeons, watch her Yorkies ,wave sideways from her Limo and pop a few spoiled royal puppies a few decades back and was perpetually supported by her countries tax payers, PLUS she lived 3,500 miles off our shores.
Now is it just Me? Shouldn't the anniversary of the date that 3,000 Americans were killed in a terrorist attack take priority over an old foreigner who did nothing to earn her status other than being born?
And Forgive the observation, but Didn't We Kick Royalty To The Curb in that unpleasantness back in 1776?

The fire did not have to "melt" steel. All it had to do was weaken it at certain points. It certainly was more than hot enough to do that.

I get what you were going for with that (yes I also read the NIST report), but the question was asking why there was melted steel on the ground in the vicinity of the twin towers if kerosene doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel.
You can argue there was no melted steel, or argue that yes the WTC fires were hot enough to melt at least some steel but that wasn't the primary mechanism at play.
But saying "it didn't need to be hot enough to melt steel" doesn't actually answer the question.

It may very well be able to melt SOME steel if it weakens it long enough. It did not have to literally melt the entire building.
