I only have one thing to say about the Boston Marathon and then I'm done with it.

The media has crossed a line this week. The level of misinformation is outrageous. The backing down, golly-geeing while still saying "I think we can ALL read between the lines there, Brian..." (just now on NBC)... all of it.

Outrageous
Insensitive
Obnoxious
Blood thirsty.

I'm. done.

But generally, I definitely agree with you. All major networks are all too eager to latch onto "exclusive information". If you turn off the TV for 8 or 10 hours, you won't have missed anything because you'll get the blow-by-blow all over again with every new show.

I remember after 9/11 those same conspiracy morons tried to link the Big Lebowski to the attack. Stop it, it's not funny never has been, nor ever will be.
