But more informal Web writing makes for just as fascinating reading. A nearly two-month long Space.com thread that tracked the shuttles progress is, as one poster puts it, Almost like a dark novel, full of foreboding, clues to the pending disaster. A FreeRepublic.com thread is equally sad. The Mission Status Center at SpaceFlightNow.com contains another minute-by-minute account of the shuttles flight.

"The reason is that most reporters in the lamestream media are not very well educated, and DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE REPORTING"
I read something on one of the threads that CNN had reported that the Shuttle was travelling at the "speed of light".

To be fair, the major commercial news outlets do need to add a few steps between what a reporter types out quickly and what is put on the wires and websites. There's no serious financial or reputational fallout, or liability issues, when Joe Freeper posts a comment that turns out to be utterly wrong. But if AP/Reuters/UPI puts a story out on the wire saying the shuttle crashed -- only to find out 5 or 10 minutes later that it really didn't, there's some serious harm done.
