What an embarrassment.

I know that stories can change, reports can conflict, and that "facts" can be fickle while a situation is unfolding.

It's just not making America any wiser by reporting the stream of consciousness as the event unfolds. It's ridiculous.

that no longer had room to hire me for anything, but can afford to keep employed people who do nothing but get it wrong all of the time...

it wasn't *THAT* long ago (less than a decade) where being wrong on this grand a scale would have cost a dozen people their jobs...
