Exactly, only what you would expect from an agenda driven media.

Something to look out for once the Boston Bombing Story cools down.

Will any mainstream media, including the Boston Globe, ask about 500 residents of Boston/Watertown (who were shut in their homes), if their views on “gun control” were changed?

The question should be phrased as, “In light of what happened during the hunt for the Marathan bombers, and in light of existing Gun Control laws in your city/town, have your feelings about “gun control” changed?”

“If so, how have they changed?”

WAITING!!!!!

It’s actually “Martial” (Military) Law, not Marshal Law. Lot’s of people make that tiny mistake.

Marshall Law is the law school in Cleveland.

Our good ol' conservative-to-the-bone buddy Joe Scarbourough committed a classic yesterday. He ripped into the media for jumping too fast, getting it wrong, etc. etc. (fingering CNN/John King's performance ).

In the next breath he jumped on and slandered a Chris Cox (attorney for the NRA, iirc) for lieing about some gun legislation. Joe ripped him a new one. Brutal. Clearly slander. He remembered how he'd served in Congress with Cox and was sad Chris had gone over to the dark side, blah, blah, blah....

Someone on the TV set must have whispered that this was a different Chris Cox.

Ooops....Never mind.

Joe , you have become a POS.

I have been watching TV news, listening to radio news and reading news papers for about 60 years.
This was the worst week of “news” I have ever watched, heard or read.
Not one of the media did a single thing to tell their kids about.
I am sure “news” stories from TV, Radio & print will be taught in future Journalism schools as what not to do.
In a word, they SUCKED. Big time.

Am of the same opinion. This week we saw . . .

A main stream media mimicking internet bloggers rather than leading and behaving as the "Record of the Facts." Sourcing material from internet bloggers without "confirming" with secondary reliable source. Misinformation with no recognition or apology of blatantly wrong information as internet bloggers are used to doing.

Clearly, it is obvious for some time now, secondary news sources are driving the "story line" re Salon, Huffington Post, Mediate, etc.

One think came out of it: for one 19 year old punk with a pistol, a major American city was locked down by a paramilitary force, and searched house by house.

Cops run over there, run over there, no wait back over there, no its there, no there..........back and forth back and forth here there everywhere......... The whole time I am watching them I hear the Key Stone Cops theme.

Plus this afternoon I was watching & listening to some live video of approx 30-40 cops milling around from several different agencies - Boston police, Watertown, MA state police, etc.... I swear at least half of them were chattering non-stop into the portable police radios, and at times laughing & yukking it up. I thought, WTH are ALL these cops talking to or talking about? I wonder if they were passing around the location of the closest Krispy Kreme donut shop, or getting instructions from their wife on what to pick up for dinner? I doubt most of them were talking about the terrorist still at large.
