28. Boston Globe is more reliable. As of now they reporting:
Wed Apr 17, 2013, 03:01 PM
Apr 2013
Conflicting reports emerged this afternoon about whether a person had been taken into custody in the deadly terror bombings that struck at the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday.

While a source told the Globe that a person had been taken into custody and other news organizations reported the same, based on their own sources, the US attorney’s office and Boston police issued statements saying no one had been arrested.

Just a moment ago, it was saying CNN/AP saying suspect in custody, other news sources saying no.

Seems like a live feed update:

Didn't CNN erroneously report something kind of big not too long ago? I don't recall what it was, but they jumped the gun and had to apologize. You'd think they'd learn.

How about we just wait for the people in charge of the investigation to come on Teeeebbeeee and tell us in their own words that an arrest has been made. I am sure that will still leave all the right-wing vengeful wacko's plenty of time to start harassing all foreign ethnicity groups.

The culprit is probably just as tied to the media as all of us.

May be a test of their mental reflexes.. as least.

Hell, I hope they are trying everything in their power to pick up a lead.

The misinformation in this case is crazy. There was a bomb at JFK library, then, no bomb. There were 3 other bombs found, then only 2. A third device was found and blown up by bomb squad, NOT! The 8 yo boy was waiting for his father to cross finish line, but father didn't run in race. WTF?

it takes a while to sift through the facts.

I always assume the initial reports are "subject to change".

This isn't the first time CNN jumped in too early, though. Kudos for the other news organizations for showing restraint.

Is there any doubt whatsoever that the bomber(s) will get found and will turn out to be white Southern radicals connected to the radical Southern Baptist churches?

AP - Arrest
CNN - Arrest
Fox - Two Arrests
Reuters - No Arrest
ABC - No Arrest
NBC - No Arrest
CBS - No Arrest

(h/t: Facebook page of KGO radio San Francisco)

Wow, of all these mainstream outlets Fox has got to be the WORST offender of 'em all. For now I'm monitoring Boston area media like Boston Globe and WBZ radio. I think they have the best live-and-on-the-ground coverage.
