CNN = WTF
OK OK,maybe this terrorist thing is a big deal and we're going to find out in a few minutes, BUT...why, if their sources are saying that they caught a guy making pipe bombs yesterday, and that this doesn't rise to the level of a Sunday night news conference with the mayor and the staff, the 'anchor' is saying that there may be other news which is more significant in re: this. So do they KNOW that it's worse and can't say, or are they just pumping for 'ratings'? Either way, it's not journalism. Quelle Surprise!!!!

Just ranting...sorry.

3. A tweet below that I saw on Twitter ...

@allisonkilkenny

Serious question: do bloomberg and co. hold a press conference every time they arrest a terror suspect, or only following week of bad PR?
