It really does seem odd how tightly they have zipped this story- that press conf was uninformative.

The worst thing about it is it makes a fertile ground for rumors to start and take hold.

The citywide “lockdown” and the “gag order” were especially amusing, offensive and weird.

It would be refreshing to see the national and local media actually go out and -get- the story without just regurgitating AP or the “official” press release.

Particularly offensive was WTMJ radio here dropping the top of the hour newscast to devote more time to all day football coverage.

I first heard about Crandon via phone from Mom in Florida despite having the TV and radio on all morning and afternoon.

I’m not a big sports fan and am always leery of a big news story or a severe weather event occurring during a “big” sporting event.

Stations like WTMJ here and WGN in Chicago seem to send everybody but the sports guys home, especially on a Sunday.
