Boston Media Coverage
Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:24 pm
My heart goes out to those in Boston, we are watching the events unfold here downunder.
We get CNN and Fox, I am flicking between the two. Both are "live" news. It could almost be two different events the two channels are covering. According to Fox it is all chaos, and nobody knows what is going on. Police are "uncertain" if the JFK library bomb is linked to the marathon bombs. Fox do not seem to have covered the comprehensive and well conducted media briefing by the Police Commissioner and Governor. They just reported police notices as a voiceover to chaotic video. Utter chaos. No central control anywhere.
CNN have footage of a confident media briefing that releases up to date information, shows all the emergency services on site, and had the Commissioner saying they are treating the three incidents as linked. They have commentators discussing terrorism.
I hope Bostonians are watching CNN. I think it is awful that Fox have not shown the media briefing. I cannot fathom why.
