I want a link to the CNN bomb on the streets story !!

 

[Ashodin]

Because Wolf's commentary is seriously just other worldly. Although I don't think he said that one, still.

Comedic or trainwreck value then? Carry on

 

[rodvik]

People, watch Fox. They are seriously doing a great job at covering this.

Obviously I cant bring myself to watch Fox. But local news streamed and (gulp) Reddit/GAF have kicked the shit out of CNN thats for sure.

 

[Canadian Psycho]

Stop watching CNN, people

FAir enough, but MS/NBC is too left wing for me (please don't mention Al-Jazeera). Where should I go instead? ABC? CBS?

 

[coldvein]

cable news sucks. all of it. i thought we all knew that..

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

LEAVE CNN ALONE!!!

Certainly. I don't give them ratings.

 

[EagleBurnn]

Is anyone doing a better job than GAF (and I'm sure other forums)? Because last night I was trying all the cable-news channels with my wife and GAF was usually like 15-45m ahead of them on important developments. Guess the downside is you have to put up with tons of scanner false alarms but you get desensitized.

That reddit thread in /r/news is great.

Local Boston CBS and NBC channels have been good.

 

[SapientWolf]

Them and MSNBC are great. CNN just became the shit show. Making the onion look real.

Never thought I would see the day where Fox was more reliable than CNN.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I swear to god that CNN quote needs to be on the Daily Show

There's a 1,000% it will be.

 

[TheNatural]

I'm only watching this feed, ever since Tuesday:

http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/117th_Running_of_Boston_Marathon

Boston coverage is better than national at this point.

 

[bionic77]

I feel bad for everyone in Boston.

I grew up in the DC area during the time of the DC sniper. It was horrendous. A month of terror.

If they never find this guy there is no guarantee that he would not strike again somewhere after recruiting another partner. Not sure I would feel safe at all.

They put his picture out. He won't be able to get away for that long unless he can somehow make it to the woods and live there.

I was in DC too during the sniper attacks and that was terrifying. Mainly because of what they were targeting. People at gas stations, grocery stores, etc. places you had to go. The worst part was for the longest time they had zero leads.

Just wanted to also point out that the searching of houses probably falls within exigent circumstances.

I think at this point it might not really matter. I'm guessing the police will search a house if they feel they need to - regardless of the potential rights violations. Then they'll just take their lumps in court if someone wants to sue.

But it does look like they have a case to do the searches, anyway.

 

[blackflag]

How would she know...

Alex Jones told her.

Local news. CBS 4 has been best for me. Channel 7 stream keeps cutting out.

 

[Winterfang]

Is this the first time this has been mentioned today? Pretty shocking if true

Sounds like BS to me. But you never know.

 

[LyleLanley]

I doubt it's true but maybe it's a sign of him being paranoid.

 

[Suikoguy]

That reddit thread in /r/news is great.

First time in awhile I've seen Reddit unable to take the amount of traffic since they adjusted to their new popularity.

 

[flyover]

Yeah, I'd go with local CBS, too.

 

[Vire]

What are people really expecting from this press conference?

"We still haven't found him"

Thanks for the update guyz.

 

[MThanded]

during the chase they threw one grenade and 5 pipebombs.

 

[HerbertFish]

Another false alarm on scanner.

 

[Slacker]

Have you tried Al Jazeera?

 

[Wind's Howling]

They threw 1 grenade and 5 pipebombs during the shootout? This true? Jesus.

 

[Canadian Psycho]

watch local

Will try, thanks.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Never thought I would see the day where Fox was more reliable than CNN.

Live coverage stories they are decent at. Then again the normal day to day news they suck. Plus Shep is the man.

 

[CrankyJay]

It was Susan Candiotti who said this gem

 

[The perfect Dark]

I really think he is dead by now

They'll tell us the dog's name. Give him the bone to the city.

some duke nukem shit

 

[Devolution]

Comedic or trainwreck value then? Carry on

Yeah the last couple days the shit coming from Wolf's mouth has just been insane. Every once and a while one of the other reporters will catch his mouth disease.

 

[TheNatural]

They threw a pressure cooker bomb just like the marathon bombs as well, but the top came off of it and limited the blast.

 

[HerbertFish]

Fox has always been the best at live, developing stories. Their commentary just sucks and people confuse the two.

 

[LiK]

Press conference delayed another hour.

 

[Wind's Howling]

some duke nukem shit

I hope this guy does not last Forever.

 

[cicero]

Just wanted to also point out that the searching of houses probably falls within exigent circumstances.

But can they apply that "a suspect will escape" to ALL homes within an entire community/neighborhood? Wouldn't a scope that wide basically make it an unlimited or unrestrained power?

 

[RiccochetJ]

First time in awhile I've seen Reddit unable to take the amount of traffic since they adjusted to their new popularity.

They're under a DDoS attack right now.

 

[TemplaerDude]

I can't even watch CNN, every time I turn it on there's 5 awkward pauses and 3 stupid statements and a half dozen mind boggingly stupid questions.

 

[Ashodin]

Yeah the last couple days the shit coming from Wolf's mouth has just been insane.

Are you watching this from a feed or regular TV? (don't have cable around to keep track)

I'm down for some lightheartening commentary.

 

[smokeymicpot]

It was Susan Candiotti who said this gem

Just went on wiki she also did the Sandy Hook thing.

December 14, 2012, approximately 2:15pm CNN's Susan Candiotti stood outside the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT and reported that the shooter in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting had been identified to her by a source as Ryan Lanza.She did not confirm or verify this information before the live broadcast. The name of the actual shooter was later revealed to be Adam Lanza, the younger brother of Ryan Lanza.

 

[maquiladora]

CBS said they threw another pressure cooker bomb too but the lid came off so it was just a small explosion because of that.

 

[WinFonda]

Simply seeing a suspect in your neighborhood is not reason enough to search all premises in said neighborhood.

But they aren't. And they don't need warrants for every house because not everyone is flatly denying permission. Either way, it's not our call to make. It's a judge's. If you want to argue you're being served an illegal warrant, then I suppose you'd have to sue the city of Boston or the federal government? Well, good luck I guess.

and sorry, this is my last post on this particular matter. i feel like it's a needlessly argumentative discussion for this thread. i'm not a judge in Boston, but i have confidence they are sorting through this with proper care to legality and constitutional rights. to assume otherwise just reaches even higher levels of paranoia.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

CNN is like the best onion news network ever. me and the wife can't stop laughing. Wolf froze and it reminded me of the Simpsons when they freeze his interview on rock bottom.

 

[ckohler]

I was up last night when they set up the perimeter around Watertown but I can't help but think they aren't even sure he was able to escape before the perimeter was formed.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

teehee

Internet streaming off my parent's cable subscription.

Guess its time to get some work done then pop back on and see whats happening. Everything has slowed down.
