How long has CNN been tripping over themselves like this?

I don't watch news much anymore so I've been away awhile. Last I remember they were one of the most professional news networks.

What happened?

 

[PBY]

90% done?!

Where is this fuckerrr

 

[TheNatural]

No they said 6PM EST presser, no major announcements though, and none for the rest of the night.

What happened?

CNN went to complete shit once Ted Turner lost control of it

Dead somewhere, or nowhere near Watertown, MA.

 

[Canadian Psycho]

Have you tried Al Jazeera?

No and I don't want to.

What happened?

They just want to generate views so they talk endlessly about old news and repeat the same footage. They are failures.

Wolf Blitzer happened.

 

[maquiladora]

Scanner : Zone 1 : 90% done searching, about 6 streets left. Zone 4 : search finished. Zone 2 : 95% cleared.

What happened?

FOX started beating them in the ratings and the guy who fucked over Conan a few years ago got put in charge of the network.

CNN is junk, watch Al Jazeera instead.

 

[params7]

during the chase they threw one grenade and 5 pipebombs.

I still don't understand how they were able to shake an entire department of cops of their tails. The explosions should be highlighting their positions more.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

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

BBC

 

[Subterranean]

Can't believe this guy got away and they have been searching all day.

 

[AstroLad]

They just want to generate views so they talk endlessly about old news and repeat the same footage. They are failures.

I remember yesterday I think it was NBC they were showing the face-down guy like 90m after it was confirmed he wasn't a suspect. Just an endless loop of random crap from the day, even as stuff was actually happening.

 

[Dega]

Last 2 streets huh?

 

[FStop7]

Some of the "PLEASE DONT BE X" are a part of the groups that keep getting hassled though. I think they have plenty of reason to care what their ethnicity/religion may be.

The "PLEASE DON'T BE X" people already know these two individuals don't represent an entire race, they are worried that the rest of the United States won't be thinking like them and unfairly label them in the process.

Points taken.

 

[Mascot]

CNN: "I've never seen Watertown so empty...it's like...a bomb was dropped in the streets"

WTF? LOL

"Tense atmosphere... like a pressure cooker"

 

[Tomat]

Startin to sound like he's gone.

 

[Fusebox]

No and I don't want to.

Er, why not?

 

[Winterfang]

Explosions are loud and go in multiple directions, some leave a lot of smoke.

 

[AuthenticM]

No and I don't want to.

Why ? They're a great news organization.

 

[Ashodin]

Fuck, it feels like he slipped away or into the sewers. Not cool.

 

[MIMIC]

Can't believe this guy got away and they have been searching all day.

Terrorist = greased up deaf guy

 

[Crisco]

Dead in a ditch. I seriously doubt he got away. They know what car he was driving for god sakes. Hell, have they found that SUV yet?

 

[Spinluck]

Jesus this is fucking hilarious, I haven't lol'd this hard in a long time.

Dude is crazy. There is no way he is serious, no way.

[PhoenixDawn]

Damn they're almost done with the searches. So either they find him very soon or he's miles and miles outside of the area they've been searching....

They have been shit since the end of the first Gulf War to be honest.

 

[B-Dubs]

If you wanna truly fuck up, you need a true master of fucking up.

That's Jeff Zucker!

 

[HerbertFish]

They would have found his body.

We must have news. We can't lose the news.

Fact x Importance = News. Fact into doubt won't go.

 

[Candeldandel]

They're under a DDoS attack right now.

Have they been down all day?? I heard this this morning, but I thought it would be resolved by now. How long to DDoS attacks usually last?

 

[maquiladora]

Can't believe this guy got away and they have been searching all day.

I'm started to doubt if he is even in Boston anymore.

 

[coldvein]

feel free to jump on me and tell me im an asshole, but .. we always hear the "we won't be intimidated/terrorized" type rhetoric at these times. but we've got a whole city of people remaining inside because of one crazy dude out there .. wouldn't that fall under that intimidated/terrorized category

im just spitballing here, dont kill me.

This was expected.

Yeah, at least their news reporter called them out on it at one point. He was like, "We've learned that the man in the image that keeps being replayed every 30 seconds is in fact not one of the suspects."

 

[Ether_Snake]

I hope they searched the sewers.

 

[lenovox1]

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

FOX is okay for “Breaking Developments,” but they've probably got their analysis hats on right about now. Shepard Smith comes on in about five minutes, so it should be okay to watch for that hour.

 

[cicero]

Explosions are loud and go in multiple directions, some leave a lot of smoke.

No one wants to drive over a pipe bomb as it goes off.

 

[Wind's Howling]

If this guy is gone he has been doing his own thing for over 12 hours. I actually hope he killed himself, because I am afraid what might happen if he has more explosives.

what have you done D:

 

[flyover]

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

I hate to say it, but it's true. You just have to have the mute button handy, because they will eventually sneak commentary in on any story. They just can't help it.

 

[dallow_bg]

No and I don't want to.

Why? They're pretty good like BBC World News.
For this though, local is best. They've been great.

 

[dc89]

Welp, really looking like he's gone. Shit.

 

[Heel]

Fingers crossed that they're narrowing in on him and he's still inside the perimeter. I hate to think that the guy was in a house that was swept and was missed in an attic or something. Hope they are being 100% thorough.

[nicoga3000]

Have they tried to contact the wife of Suspect #1?

 

[Naked Snake]

Anyone else not get anything done today because of this? (or I like to tell myself that)

 

[JaseMath]

He's clearly not in Watertown. Who knows where the hell he is now.
