It's called 'Chinese Whispers' over here. :yep: And yes, yes, too true, you can see that in full fledge when Chinese news reports something from The Onion. :03:

At this very moment on CNN they are sitting there making their excuse for the incorrect reports but not really admitting doing anything wrong.This one lady has the gall to think that the Feds use the media to send out "leaks" and conflicting information to help catch the person. Riiiiiiight.

What it is really caused by is an unclear statement from a "source" rather than wait to verify something the outlet will report it because they want to be first.

Of course the other media outlets are just as guilty CNN has numerous peers of CNN also has a Piers.Pun intended?:06:

So a person IDed as setting bags down not hwo it is and no one has been arrested.

Typical media flapping off tons of unconfirmed information that turns out moments later not to be correct.
A bit like GT then :)

Charlie Brooker (a tv writer and presenter) has been tweeting some amusing quips about CNN at the moment:

Quote:
"CNN is essentially just footage of reporters in the street staring in bewilderment at their iPhones right now."
Quote:
"CNN just confirmed Thatcher's made a full recovery."
Quote:
"Actually the Boston 'arrest' cockup is probably a good move for CNN. Turns it into a sort of 'mystery channel' where you guess what's true."
Quote:
"CNN could relaunch as rolling '+1' channel where they explain what they reckon might happen precisely one hour from now."

As an aside, generally speaking to nobody in particular, why post if your not going to include the link? :-?

I would have given one if I could have. The prof. is a terrorism specialist and put together a 20 minute presentation of what we know about the Boston bombings at the beginning of his lecture today. He said that a cable producer of a major network sent it to him. It could turn out to be totally bogus, as he stressed, but it looks legitimate at first glance.

When I saw the picture of the eight years old boy, I felt such an anger against the person or persons who did this.

Well I may not be the only one that are feeling that way and here it is very important that we act in a civilized way and give the suspect(s) a fair trial
