No he's not

CNN is now saying there are conflicting reports. Can't find info about the news conference.

An early poll entry?

It doesn't help that I keep reading his user name as MaryandNed.

I just hope they catch the bombers. I'm thinking nobody can pick an argument with that.

It's all a bit alarming. The only thing agreed on is that they now have suspects. All too eager to be the first with the news rather than correct.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Same here.

Agreed...but I'm sure someone will be able to.

Off Topic - Jersey girl, is there a "punch you in your throat" smiley? I'd like one of those.

And the Black male suspect as reported by CNN is now a white male.

They aren't going to be feeling too good about this screen grab where they have the suspect and being arrested and not on the same page.

I keep flashing back to "The Newsroom" and wanting to hear what Will McAvoy has to say on the subject.

I know we've mentioned before about getting our news from the Comedy Channel, but it's another step altogether to want it from a fictional tv character.
