| Topic: I Hate the News During a Crisis | |

As I was watching the News Coverage of the Boston Marathon Bombing, it was sickening as it was Wall to Wall Endless, Mindless, Talk; Even the Interviews of People who weren't there soaking up their 15 Minutes of Fame.
Won't go into which Network(s) I watched as they were all Equally Guilty of Pushing aside Important Stories for Mindless Drabble that far too often was down right Wrong and/or Meaningless. How it should have been handled is with Regular Updates as they went ahead with the Other Important Stories; say four Updates an Hour (or Fewer) rather talking to the Third Cousin of the Step-Mother of Someone who might of been within a mile of the blast. Suspect in Custody, no one in Custody; Suspect's Home being searched, just on and on with mindless meaningless drabble that amounted to Nothing; But the Rating were High, that's what matters; Right? |

as important as the news is, truth is very few are run with no costs and they have to cover costs through sponsorship, which they compete for with 'first on the scene' and sensationlistic reports that people flock to like they do auto accidents
I generally wait at least three weeks before planning to hear actual verifiable facts,,,,,,the rest is rushed information for ratings sakes,,,,in my opinion |

I hate mainstream news, all bullchit and agenda, lies and manipulation, pretty much to a fault. If I had a choice I wouldn't wanna listen to it at all, but my grandma and mom watch it religiously so I'm forced to hear it daily. It's depressing and draining, sick how they use tragedies for ratings and for pushing fear, they exploit them all the time.
I'm barely gonna be able to stomach this garbage now.....for someone that sees right through all the bullchit surrounding this, it's gonna be hard. You can already SEE the emotionalism coming in and the agenda pushing starting. |

Could have swore I heard the bombs were made from pressure cookers? Anyone see the photos of the person on top of the building right near the blast sight?

A lot of people go to the tops of building to see events in the street.

A lot of people go to the tops of building to see events in the street. I would think roof tops would be off limits, too easy to shoot from atop a roof and can get too many rounds off before security or police can get to you. That's just one reason of many for roof tops to be closed. |

Could have swore I heard the bombs were made from pressure cookers? Officials found that the bombs in Boston consisted of explosives put in ordinary 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails, according to a person close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. The bombs were stuffed into black duffel bags and left on the ground, the person said.

Could have swore I heard the bombs were made from pressure cookers? Anyone see the photos of the person on top of the building right near the blast sight? Did he live there? Did he work there? Was he Watching the Marathon or doing some work? He could have been a Police Sniper on the watch for trouble, but I didn't see a Rifle in his hand; but you can bet that a Police Sniper did take note of him. In other words, the fact that there was someone on the Roof is Meaningless in of itself without other Information. |

I avoid the news during crisis. All they do is repeat things and people act out of emotion and can cause more problems. This is one reason I like to watch John Stossel cause his shows are normally not about the gossip of the day. |

That's just one reason of many for roof tops to be closed. I don’t know how much they could make rooftops off limits; after all it is private property. Besides, you can see events better from the roof. I watched a local parade one time from the top of my dad’s store. |

Could have swore I heard the bombs were made from pressure cookers? Officials found that the bombs in Boston consisted of explosives put in ordinary 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails, according to a person close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. The bombs were stuffed into black duffel bags and left on the ground, the person said. Read more:http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Investigators+seek+suspects+motive+Boston+bombings+that+killed/8247807/story.html I heard the same. It would seem they wanted to make the cookers into shrapnel grenades, which do more damage then kill. Often shrapnel deal more long-term damage and not just the injuries to the people’s bodies. This attack will also drain resources not only the heighten police but also medical cost as well. Most likely we will see more rules and laws pass as well to try and to stop these events. |

And everyone seen with a cooker in the arms may be subject to an investigation. Which may be a problem here in the south considering how many carry theirs to church and other events for cooking meals. |

17 April 2013 Last updated at 18:06 GMT Boston marathon attacks: Suspect arrested Investigators have arrested a suspect in relation to Monday's Boston marathon bombings, law enforcement officials have told US media. The breakthrough reportedly came from security video of a man dropping off a bag on the street near the race's finish line, before walking away. The twin blasts killed an eight-year-old boy, a woman aged 29 and a postgraduate student from China. Officials are due to hold a press conference at 17:00 ET (21:00 GMT). |

According to the Boston PD they don't have anyone yet; yet another Rumor out there. If the News simply do, at the most, Quarterly Updates, things would move much more smoothly while other important news gets covered. |
