What kind of f--king reportage was that "mass grave" crap?

[PCIntern]

I mean, REALLY!

It's just outrageous that professional organizations, paid to report NEWS, could completely screw up a story like that. There is no excuse.

How's this: Ken Lay found living in Lower Merion, PA.

One hour later: Oops, it's not Ken Lay, it's someone who sort of looks like him.

I can do that too...and for FREE.

There was a reputable story about Andrew Breitbart infecting goats with syphilis. n/t

6. but THAT was on the internet

7. LOL!

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

1. Because the only exercise many people get (even here)

is jumping to conclusions.

Especially if it's about a place, like Texas, that they already have a bias against.

[PCIntern]

3. Yeah but...but...but...

that's NOT how NEWS is supposed to work professionally.

[WolverineDG]

10. No, really?

You don't say....

[PCIntern]

14. I DO say...

over and over again, but I guess all the affiliates, papers, and online sources aren't listening to me...

[WolverineDG]

20. Well, they don't listen to me either

so don't feel too bad. ;)

[girl gone mad]

18. That one kind of had it all..

Texas, rural area, long haul truck drivers, dismembered children.

[WolverineDG]

21. Yup, lotsa nice shiny buttons

all lined up, begging to be pushed....

[Vanje]

2. ? nt

[fascisthunter]

4. no shit... that was my reaction too

our media is an absolute embarrassment

[maddezmom]

5. I think a lot of the blame lies with the LCSO...they were the ones that made the comments to the

outlets.

[Liberal Veteran]

8. They made a grave error.

[jberryhill]

15. groan...

[moondust]

9. Still developing.

MSNBC just showed helicopter shots of cops outside the property getting a search warrant because the owners of the property are not cooperating.

[PCIntern]

11. OK...but now they're saying there are no bodies,

or are there and it got really effed up? Or maybe, they don't want to cooperate because everyone has so far FUBAR'd this. I wouldn't let any of these folk inside my home without a warrant, given WTF has been going on lately.

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. Doesn't it depend on what the police said?

If the reporters were making stuff up about what the police said, then it's bad; if the police were the ones who made up the stuff about finding 25 to 30 bodies, then it's far, far worse.

[moondust]

17. The implication was

that the cops have not searched the property yet and will need the search warrant, according to the MSNBC live update.

[jberryhill]

12. A search warrant sworn out on a psychic tip?

And you'd be "cooperative" if the police showed up at your house looking for the "25 to 30 dead children's bodies"?

I'd tell them to quit smoking crack.

[PCIntern]

19. I can see it now:

"Sir, Sarah Palin, President of the United States of America, had a dream that you were cooking meth in your basement and cannibalizing young men and women. We therefore have a warrant to search your premises because we have clear probable cause."

[gkhouston]

22. And they called in the FBI, too, if the media reports are accurate.

:wtf: Why would a sheriff call the FBI based on a psychic's tip before having done any sort of preliminary look-see? Something's squirrelly about version 2.0 of this story.

[spanone]

13. it's our 'american idol' media...news that glitters is gold for ratings

pathetic

fact checking is a thing of the past

[Liberal Veteran]

23. They moved the bodies to Syria!

Yeah...that's the ticket.

[jberryhill]

24. There was actual evidence of mass dismembered grave planning programs
