I agree. They are covering an unfolding story, and you see things as they occur. It is a problem though, and you saw it play out in the newspapers that are being delivered with the wrong story, and all the services that parroted one another with unconfirmed info. I sort of have to draw some squiggly line of seperation in assessing guilt for something like this.
My old division commander used to say, "The first report is *always* wrong." That's true in the media as well.
