CNN backtracking on arrest. Wow, idiots

 

You could hear someone off screen saying "Double back? Okay, okay. We'll double back."

Interesting stuff in the pics, but hard to conclude anything. Pretty easy to make someone with a black backpack with silver straps look suspicious with just a few pictures -- why is he looking this direction? Why did he stand here for so long? etc

The one that is interesting is the guy with a backpack, then without it. Not that he couldn't have handed it off to someone. just saying.

It's fake. They were unrelated episodes edited together.

 

No they weren't, I just watched the episode. The 2 scenes are not back-to-back like the clip shows, but they are both from the same episode and everything I said in my comment is correct.

hey dips***s in the media, stop trying to worry about "scooping" a story that will become public within a short time anyway, it doesn't actually mean anything and always makes you say dumb things.

cnn.com hasn't taken anything down yet.

I remember a day where I had to argue for hours about journalistic integrity.

 

That being said, we will now slowly begin the walk back towards 1984.

AC: "First reports, so often, are wrong"

 

In other words, CNN will say whatever somebody calls and tells them

1984 was a well-orchestrated propaganda machine controlled by a central entity. This is just a clusterf***.

Despite reports to the contrary there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack.

You must be NBC fans. RT @Boston_Police: Despite reports to the contrary there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack.

daveweigel ‏@daveweigel 1m

What is "arrest" anyway? Aren't we all trapped in prisons of our own making? Life -- it's but a dream.

 

@ChrisHarrisKS: The good news: If the suspect is watching television, they also have no idea what's happening. The ol' rope a dope!

Cliffs of the investigation:

 

There are lots of pictures

There are many people with backpacks

The FBI might know which person in the photos put down the bomb

They might know who that person is

They probably haven't arrested them

 

Is it possible they leak bad information to the media to maybe make the real suspect "relax" so he's easier to catch?

 

Is it possible bad information is leaked on purpose to find leakers?
