Wolf (CNN) harps on security re: hospitalized bombing suspect, yet again.

Wolf - The man is apparently intubated, sedated and handcuffed to his hospital bed. Give it a break.

I can understand if security is about something other than the risk the guy poses. But he's not going to get up and terrorize again.

This is B movie grade reporting.

The guy will be brought to trial in due course.

And the cuffs are not necessary right now either. Why, he is chemically restrained.

To cause tissue damage, and are just as effective.

It is police procedure.

Even before all this latest news...just something about him annoys me.

He repeats things again and again. Surely they have better reporters available somewhere?

If I had a dollar for every "uh" in his speechifying, I could give Bill Gates some competition. Sheesh.

pesonality. He is terrible. CNN isn't my news channel of choice, but I'll often flip btw them and MSNBC for breaking news. When Wolf is on, though, I never watch their channel.

Chicken Noodle Nuze lost all of their solid reporters in the years following Turner's sale to Time/Warner...what's left are the brown-noses who play for the "emotions"...the ratings...with little regard to facts. Wolfie, Candy, King, Cooper...the usual suspects who have led this network steadily into the ratings and now credibility dumper. You'd think with the black eyes this network got with their coverage this week that new CEO Jeff Zucker would be thinking about some changes...instead he's applauding their coverage.

Seems some on the corporate media (and other places) are sold that since Tsarneav is an "Islamic terrerist"...due process is an inconvenience...

He's absolutely terrible: shallow, lame, unable to frame a question or hold anyone's attention. This is the best they can do over there? No wonder nobody watches.
