I would be very interested to learn how the government transmits its marching orders to the media. ... press releases.

Press releases may explain the transfer of information, but it doesn't explain why the media so quickly and so meekly go along.

Good post. I really didnt expect this story to get such a positive spin. I guess this paper must have a "right wing" slant.

One thing regarding the initial reports of unexploded bombs within the building. I think it's pretty obvious that generally the "media" is incompetant. They are constantly changing the story on breaking news, and I think it's because they are so quick to run with speculation and rumor reported as facts.

This is not to say i believe the government line that it was all Timmy and his buddy's fault. I think it's obvious that the FBI had foreknowledge of this.
