Now reporters "questioning" the training exercise timing. Keep your bias and your damn opinions to
yourself. Just read the news that is your job, not giving your fucking opinion.

1. Reporter's get to choose the timing of the Coast Guard Activities, didn't you know?

2. Ah, I would question the timing too
And having it in the middle of the city and on this date. And the best reporting of the past decade, at least, was when reporters "questioned" the government actions following Katrina in New Orleans.

9. Anytime a reporter says the words "I think" or "someone should" the person
in their ear needs to remind them they are paid monkeys and to read the script or say what they see, and that no one gives a damn what they think.

3. Yeah, if reporters had done their job in the first place
and confirmed what the hell was going on, there would have been no story.

4. CNN says THEIR SOURCE told them The Coast Guard TOLD HIM it was an exercise.
CNN has NOT spoken directly to The Coast Guard to confirm this yet.

5. They're trying to lay the blame on Janet Napolitano.

6. It is a very questionable timing indeed
which does not mean that CNN should not have verified its news before airing it.

8. lol... verifying news before airing it... yes, what a novel idea!
Somehow I doubt it'll catch on anytime soon. Breathless (and mindless) speculation is apparently good for ratings... or something.

7. Doing it on 9-11 is kinda stupid. They should have known it could cause alarm
esp. when Obama was visiting Pentagon the same morning. Quite unwise.
