    All news headlines are currently:

    "ONE BOMBING SUSPECT KILLED, ONE STILL ON THE RUN"

    To be clear:
    - NO facts yet link the Marathon bombings to the MIT shooting.
    - NOBODY yet knows who's responsible for Marathon bombings.

    The news channels make so many immediate assumptions to create a striking headline and weave a narrative.

    NO FACTS link the bombings and the MIT shooting yet, so how are they "bombing suspects"??

    • When the police says so you tend to believe them (if your tinfoil hat fell off that is).
      ********
    • They said they were chasing carjackers, on the working assumption they were related to Monday's bombings
      ********
    • Yet the news touts that as fact. The problem isn't a conspiracy, it's sloppy news channels trying to create ReTweetability
      ********
    • They identified the dead man as 1 of the 2 bombing suspects. That's specific enough for me.
      ********
    • We still don't know if the suspects are responsible for the bombings. But we do know that there are only 2.
      ********
    • How can they say he was a bombing suspect? Based on a photo of him wearing shades and a cap?
      ********
    • I give up. Fuck da police!
      ********
    • Lol. I'm just saying I watched the police briefing as it happened. They said it was an assumption at this point
