Initial thoughts? Never, ever trust anything American corporate news reports. Ever. Each channel is in competition to report something 1st & the facts take a backseat until the facts start to really come in. We Americans exist in an environment where infotainment is the norm & for those that pay attention & watch the story change from minute to minute...it kinda wants to make us vomit. Don't get me wrong...Boston today was a horrible thing to happen, but as far at the networks are concerned, ratings are of utmost priority & they count on viewer voyeurism to keep tuned in for the benefit of the network sponsors.

"Facts" are manageable as they change.

Best rule of thumb is to not expect any reported 'facts' as actual fact for the 1st 24 hours or so

Ooh, I just read the CNN report (was first to come up on google). And holy s*** after skim reading the BBC one I feel like da two are on entirely different incidents!
