You'd think TV news producers would have learned how not to cover breaking news events about which very few facts are known from the way they've gotten mocked



Unfortunately, their ratings go up whenever something like this happens, and they will do anything to hold those viewers. So, they choose dollars over dignity.

24 hour news channels seemed like a good idea once, but it really seems like they have backfired, people who watch them tend to be less well informed than people who get their news elsewhere.

New Yorkers were pretty chill about this...I was out in Riverside Park when somebody noted on their cell that their had been a bombing...and nobody seemed especially concerned. Nobody here is taking the bait and reacting with fear. It's all good.
