‘Here’s the truth. We don’t know’: How false reports of Boston bombing arrest left media outlets scrambling.
National Post

- Reporters and journalist are under extreme pressure to be the first to break the story
- The fact remains on air reporters are under contract to do and say as they are told
- When someone or some group of people you trust say something you tend to believe it. If one news source believed the others than its no wonder the false information spread so quickly
- How could so many news sources all give false information?
- Why do news sources automatically believe one another with out doing their own research?
- When its obvious that the information was false would they continue saying anything till the truth was discovered?
- Honestly it doesn't surprise me
- There should be a fine for reporting false information
- Race should not be discussed when its known the information inaccurate
- News networks have always had there own agenda
- So many reported the same false information
- The reporter who chose to lie about the race
- The correct information would have been reported. Reporting that no arrest have been made is just as easy if not easier than lying
- If the first report was right than the rest that simply followed the lead of the first would have been right
- Having a first hand or primary source that was identified would have led to accurate reports
- Sources identities were either left out or changed to fit the story
- Multiple News sources claiming an arrest had been mad
- One reporter even stated the suspect to be a "Dark skinned male" and was later reported by a different source the suspect is a white male
