MSNBC Analyst: Explosion Sound Could Be 'Gas-Filled Balloon'
newsbusters.org ^ | May 22, 2017

Early Monday evening as details of a loud explosion at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester England were first rolling in, something obviously very wrong as MSNBC’s chyron was reporting “at least 20 dead.” But for the network’s Law Enforcement Analyst Jim Cavanaugh on Hardball, the terrifying noise could have been anything, including a very loud balloon popping as he told host Chris Matthews.

"The police have not told us the cause of this loud explosion. There was some reports of smoke, but we could have people injured in an accidental explosion, some kind of event in there with equipment, loud noise, you know, sometimes these concerts use fireworks, so there's reports that there's large gas filled balloons there."

If MSNBC can’t blame the bombing on Trump, they’ll spike the story. Fake news is also not reporting the news.

I know what my first guess usually is in these matters. I am very rarely wrong.

I’m thinking that the last “large gas-filled balloon” that killed so many people was called the Hindenburg.

So obvious that the MSM doesn’t know how to handle this story. Trying so hard not to venture into a narrative that favors Trump in any way. Making fools of themselves!!

MSNBC can’t admit that President Trump is right about terrorism, so it will pretend that these deaths were caused by anything other than terrorism. The Liberal Media is shameless.

“’Gas-Filled Balloon’”

That would be the implosion of the Russia-hacked-the-election fake narrative as the murder of Seth Rich and John Podesta’s email concerning punishing DNC leakers becomes the focus of a criminal investigation by Congress

Just a note for those in Rio Linda, the Hindenburg was the reason they stopped using hydrogen balloons, and switched to non-flammable helium.

Or it could have been an islamist filled with explosives and nails.

I wonder which one is more likely to kill 19 people and injure dozens more, MSBSN. Which do you think it could be hmmm? Better ask Rachel Madcow.

Even Shepard Smith did not go as far as calling the explosion gas-filled balloons. However, he held off as long as possible before mentioning the T word.
