[QUOTE=âJulio Geordio, post: 1068942, member: 332â]7 arrested yesterday. None of them the main suspects.
2 lads were likely being âwatched*â by police previously. One had previously been arrested and jailed for 3 years for organising jihadists.
The third gunman was actually in school all day**.
*think watched may have a loose definition in this sense
**conspiracy theorists will have plenty to get excited over
Live reporting of these things has gone insane. Wild speculation now seems to be perfectly acceptable.[/QUOTE]
The Boston Bombings changed everything. It makes it a far more enjoyable spectator sport, but true journalism integrity has gotten a little lost I feel.
This was handled quite well in the season opener of The Newsroom. Of course given that it was Sorkin, it was also a little preachy and judgemental, but it was a worthy effort.
The internet/blogging/tweeting etc has dramatically changed the face of journalism. Information is released so quickly now that news agencies are afraid of their lives of being left behind in a story, so feel obliged to report every rumour and half-fact that is circulated. Even look at the likes of Joe.ie, The Journal.ie, independent.ie their whole raison-d-etre is page views so constantly churn out absolute horseshit just to keep the page views ticking over and the content âfreshâ.
Look at the top 8 stories on the journal.ie this morning, and then check them again in the late afternoon. You can be guaranteed by then itâs stuffed with âlight-heartedâ makey-up content.

In fairness to Aaron Sorkin Newsroom nailed this in season three when they were supposedly covering the Boston bombings.
Reports that one of the shooters involved this morning was detained seem to be false now.
Nevermind, Iâm simply delirious due to lack of sleep. The Newsroom is a tv program about a Newsroom, and their season opener was handling the Boston Bombings and how the search was interfered with due to the ânew mediaâ and their indifference to well researched stories.

Isnât that why Mark Littles company made so much money? He was able to âverifyâ social media stories. Great idea in theory but no point verifying something that all media agencies have already churned out.

Cunts like joe.ie, or even worse, sportsjoe.ie should be flogged every time they use the phrase âwins the internetâ.

A brother in law of a work colleague is working for sportsjoe.ie. Theyâve apparently been told only to report on proper sports and not the Twitter crawling the lads on the main site usually do. He was up until 6am live reporting on some UFC fight a few weeks back I was told.
They could do with rebranding to remove the âJoeâ bit from the name however as anything associated with that dirge loses credibility in my eyes. Then again, most of us on this site tend to be in the minority on these type of things and the general public lap up these sites - Iâll never understand why.
