  don't bother with CNN..

  
  
  Associated Press, BBC, AND Fox News spit out basically the same info >.>
  
  Basically, it's officials being stupid and not communicating properly before talking to major news outlets.

  Yeah, right now it's a huge clusterfuck and nobody knows what's going on. Courthouse is okay, news conference postponed due to the former, nobody is in custody.

  This is what happens when news sources go nuts after a HUGE disaster
  
  "Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate."
  
  Quit using unofficial sources dammit! From now on I'll check the articles and see if it's an official source before mentioning it.

  The news are really starting to upset me.. they keep saying over and over "the explosion that made 3 death." or "those 3 who died." or even "the horror of the 3 who died."
  
  Can't they even think of all those wounded who have to live with their disabilities from this explosion? I feel like they are more importent than those who are gone...

  That's how the media operates, the focus on those who are dead and ignore the wounded. The dead are dead and will stay dead. You mourn for them, and you move on. Meanwhile, those people who are still alive have to deal with being disabled for the rest of their lives.

  Indeed. Even worse are the fake 'donation' funds people are setting up.
  
  If you want to donate, you can go somewhere credible like The One Fund.
  
  What I would like to see is a fund specifically that helps to pay for all of the prosthetics these poor people are going to need once they're in the clear. Even basic prostheses are expensive as hell.

  I've seen dozens of these now.
  
  People getting rich by setting up fake places to donate. Horrible.

  The media is mining for attention, more viewers = more money, this is why i dont give a rat's ass about any of this until the craze dies down, i am not going to scramble and waste hours to gather info when in due time, all will be revealed.
  
  
  Was constantly annoying when the sikh temple shootings happened and our local papers printed the same story for a week but with different words to fill up the paper.
  
  
  FTR, i live 5 minutes away from it and a postal facility that i work at is across the street more or less.
  
  
  Not being insensitive, but the time trying to get all the info when there is none is exhausting.
  
  
  Like i looked at a single news source, 2 bombs. Lots wounded, 3 dead, homemade crude explosive. The only info i need left is the culprit, after that, my fill on that event is done.
  
  I dont want detailed descriptions on who died or who got injured, that is not important because it has no bearing to me, people die all over the world quietly and without media attention, just seems people are being insensitive.
  
  Like the shootings that happened, anyone remember all the victims of each and every shooting, because the relevance to the shooting itself is none.
  
  Only thing that is important now is to get the bastard that did it, if the media would spend more time trying to help instead of confusing people for profit, WOULD BE GREAT.
  
  
  Then again, i hate media coverage of disasters, it's so heart rending obvious that they are saying extra things or doing things that deepen the drama of it instead of providing relevant info.
  Depressing what media has become these days.

  Lots of false arrest stories today.
  
  They all get deleted soon after. Trying way too hard to jump the gun.

  People want that information, they will scour for it until they find it.
  I am sure the media is releasing info on "accident"

  which is why I give up on it until the officials just come out and say it and by that I mean an official statement from Obama or Press Release.
  
  When they find out who did it and why, there's no doubt that they will hold a Press Conference about it.

  Don't trust Obama enough to trust their info is definitive.

  The news outlets are even less trustworthy. The only way you're going to find out the absolute truth if you don't wanna believe the authorities is to do the investigation your damn self which is highly unlikely to happen.

  FBI news conference happening right now says there are 2 suspects, and are seeking the public's help.
  
  Trying to get pictures now, FBI website isn't loading.
  
  Edit: Here you go. Suspect 2 in the white cap is the one who placed the bomb.
