There’s been an explosion on West 23rd St. in Chelsea between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. I’m watching TV in New York. The whole thing is being ignored. Maybe 25 people have been hurt.
We have two 10pm newscasts– on Fox 5 and Channel 11. Neither of them has cut into sports broadcasting to report the story.
The local network affiliates– NBC, ABC, CBS– not a word.
We are in the most media centric city in the world, mind you.
CNN is trying to cover the story but Don Lemon can’t figure out where Chelsea is, or where the explosion is. He keeps saying it’s between Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenue. So he knows nothing.
But, good news! Bill DeBlasio is on his way. Good luck to him. West 23rd Street now has one lane in each direction because they’ve put in a bus lane.
By the way, the place where this happened is not full of restaurants and art galleries. It’s kind of a business district, and not heavily trafficked at night. It’s a strange spot for a bomb.
Jonah Goldberg? Establishment globalist. Totally disagree with you.
“The whole thing is being ignored.”
Not surprising.
Hillary said that more gun control was the solution to stop terrorism
But now we have multiple attacks carried out with bombs and knifes.
And a man with a concealed carry saved lives in Minnesota.
Seems like a perfect storm is forming against the evil witch.
Must havee been some technical issues with the stations betamax or something.... /sarc
College Football. I bet the newsrooms had the night off at 10 pm news.
Hilda needs the muzzie vote,.... can’t be hurting their feelings. Besides the rat party needs 100,000 more votes....per year....for the next 20-39 years, just to remain relative
“Jonah Goldberg’s book, Liberal Fascism is a seminal work no matter how much you dislike the author.”
That is very true. It is an excellent read. Goldberg is an elite globalist. This is also true. And he is a “Never Trumper.”
Pressure cooker bombs. But don’t worry, DeBlobbio says no link to terrorism.
See, just look the other way so leftists don’t have to look bad before elections.
Trial run... Response times and resources for a particular business district.
Bomb damage tests for muzzles planning their pre election shenanigans, is my guess.
Shep Smith is a LIAR....a GAY LIAR!! He is UNWATCHABLE!!
Shep was probably at the Ole Miss-Alabama game.
Did anyone cat the drunk Eric Shaw on fox last night he must have been forced from a bar to do the breaking news. He insisted it was a cherry bomb and then he blamed a construction company.
Weapons testing. Fox was wall to wall with it nationally until I gave up and went to bed.
Islam IS a serial murderer of entire peoples and cultures. For its psychopathological misogyny alone, it is an abomination worthy only of extinction.
Were they assault pressure cookers.
Were the pressure cookers painted an evil colour
Did the pressure cookers have the long stalk thingy
They can’t cover this. It might affect the election.
The preestitures must remain neutral.
Not true. I watched the Mets game on 11 and Kaity Tong cut in during a pitchingchange to report the explosion This happened several times until the Mets won in 12innings. When I heard it I checked the other stations. 4,5,&7 had football but I did see a cut in on the Notre Dame game on 4 . Both cutins I saw used the term IED, but there was no more info available. Injuries were mentioned but none were life threatening. Channel 2 had normal programming and news at 11. Their newscast had more visuals but no more info than the earlier cut ins. Staying with scheduled programming was correct.
its been proven in the wikileaks that the news channels take their orders from the Hillary campaign/the dnc.
