NBC News and a local affiliate have being slapped with a libel and slander lawsuit for March, 23, 2015 report that aired on Today (also known as The Today Show) entitled, “Bombs for Sale? Popular Stores Sell ‘Dangerous Explosives.'”

Wow that was fast. Tannerite rocks. Now, who's got the bigger wallet?

[SkyDancer]

Same reason I don’t watch 60 Minutes - distortion and lying for an hour.

Funny. I was at a men’s retreat for church. They had an outdoor shooting event. One of the men showed how to easily make “active” targets using the icy packs from CVS and aluminum powder. Easy and impressive.

Do tell. Inquiring minds want to know ....

News people are idiots... who can't control their tongues.

That's bad enough IF you have a brain...but, when you just babble on repeating someone else’s lies, adding your own along the way and when you have NO facts at your disposal... well, it gets costly! :)

When I was young, I KNEW that if I kept my mouth shut when people were talking (people older than me and who were INFORMED) then no one would know how LITTLE I knew. Why can't these stupid ‘journalists’ figure that out?

I guess they couldn’t find a pickup truck to blow up....

I didn’t read the article but are they talking about tannerite? You can buy that at Academy here in Texas, if I’m not mistaken.

I’ve heard that if 60 minutes ever shows up to interview you, you must refuse. Better to give them video of you refusing or you covering your face as you walk to your car then giving them an interview which will be twisted to show you saying whatever fits their story.

Search “Homemade Tannerite”.

[Renegade]

Gander Mountain sells it on the shelf.

Assault gas tanks? Ticking time bombs? Unsafe at any speed?

[rktman]

Yup. Tannerite it is.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks rktman.

[vpintheak]

Such idiots. Tannerite requires impact from such Hugh speeds. Dumb lefties.

I once held a position, long ago now, during which time someone did not identify as a newsperson. I’ve not talked to a newsperson since. And won’t. Suggest doing it to every last one of them.

WOW! I’m surprised they did not go after ZEBCO (Zero Hour Bomb Company)!

Same sort of thing happened in the NHL. Back about 1994, Chicago’s Michel Goulet suffered a career ending head injury when he went headfirst into the boards from skating hard and then slipping. The media picked on the lightweight Jofa 235 helmet he wore (along with Wayne Gretzky and many other players) and demanded the league enact stricter standards for headgear, even though Goulet’s doctor soon said that even a stronger helmet probably would not have saved his career.

The NHL gave into the media’s browbeating and enacted stricter standards (banning that type of helmet). And guess what? Within a couple of years or so of doing that(and continuing today), even more cheapshot and deliberate attempt to injure incidents and concussions and careers ended (Lindros brothers, Keith Primeau, Pat Lafontaine, etc). Thanks media, for acting so much in our best interests (sarc).

It is still amazing to me how many people watch 60 minutes. I change the channel like the plague. I dont want to catch what they have! Liars! If that show is on TV they are lying.

[rktman]

Hey. If they weren’t there to protect us, who would? :>}
