At one point CNN described the desolate scene on the streets o NBC NEWS It's mostly about those two Williams - Pete and Brian The New England Cable It's as if a bomb went off." Which is a pretty crazy thing to say. But no one will be talking about that, because it's among the least absurd things said on the network this week. Things started going downhill for CNN Wednesday afternoon, when John King said law enforcement sources told him the suspect was a "dark skinned male." King added that he knew "some MSNBC and criticized John Kin everyone knows what you mean. You mean smart, measured, trustworthy. Pete Williams is a BRAND now While others were saying all kinds of crazy and untrue we're happy a t be surprised if O'Reilly has the first of two on-air curses has it that Obama watched WCVB's live stream from the insisting an arrest had been made (it hadn't), John King tweeted Source of that description was a senior government official. And I asked, are you sure? But I'm responsible. What I am not is Another highlight came from Fox's another one racist. Also, the he fire on the boat, not sure about that.) What else Late night Brian Williams tried out a Boston accent on the air. That was a little weird, but not terrible. CNN's John King is from Boston, but by this point any Williams ve and we would have cheered. Another highlight was a t where being Red Sox designated captioning about the s hero is that racist." After the major screw-up declaring: about anythingcity disappeared from the air. So someone asked if CNN had benched him. Of course not, CNN said, explaining that King was working for NBC could Deschanel." Deschanel tweeted: is way to Dallas nterview George W. Bush because his one point on Friday, when Brian Will nto presidential l local network NECN's coverage, only to catch a that's what they said.) What else? Oh! At some point, US Rep Peter King (R-NY) came on CNN and told everyone to stop being so politically correct. And there was Jeff Zucker's email congratulating everyone on a job well done. Oh and then o Sunday, Howard Kurtz's Reliable Sources program (on CNN) started its opening critique of the media coverage by criticizing NBC and Fox. You didn't even have to be employed by CNN this re rter say "I don't know s--- makes Jim Braude Pat l.e BROADCAST riday, WBUR air to say that suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is/was rter Robin Young t Examples include tweets that named suspects who t really the suspects and also live-tweeting of police scanners after law enforcement pleaded for it top. But really, like Facebook, Twitter is only as good ts users. And depending on your Twitter REUTERS Sort-of-former Reuters deputy social media editor Matthew Keys got criticized for his real-time COVERING Police scanners after law enforcement begged ters editor, but he's indictment for something unrelated and therefore was working from his bedroom and not the newsroom. Seems like a solid half of all tweets are done by people wearing pajamas so that's not a great excuse. Now Reuters says Keys wasn't tweeting on behalf of them. And to their credit, the COVERAGE On Thursday evening, posts began appearing on Highs and lows in a week's n University student might be behind the bombings. Turns out but it was probably the most notable. The FBl now says they released photos of the actual suspects at least in part because of misinformation being spread on reddit and elsewhere. (Reddit was also one of the places you could find the gruesome morgue photo of suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.) the Boston stuff, Reuters also accidentally news coverage of the Boston Marathon attack a premature obituary for fi Soros, who is in fact very much alive and still funding each and every liberal conspiracy.) The AP was among those outlets reporting (incorrectly) on Wednesday that a s newspaper insert distributed by the AP with a Thanks to TMZ, we now know about of lots of local newspapers across the country The AP really couldn't have helped this, and JOURNALISM fake Twitter accounts t Journalism Review said it and found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's Where to begin?! So. Much. Terribleness. Page Six was the classiest part of the Post this week. By far. It all started when the Post was the only news outlet reporting a death toll of 12 (when everyone else seemed to be saying 3). Then there was the Saudi, who the Post claimed was a suspect being held in custody at a Boston hospital. Turns out he was a victim and witness not a suspect. And THEN - under the headline "Bag Men", they printed DAILY After coming pretty close to getting sucked into the CNN/Associated Press vortex re: the arrest that didn happen, the Globe pulled back and NENS The day after the Marathon, the admitted had been significanty photos of two men who turned out to just be, well, two men. Oh well, no bigapologized after it published an The Boston Herald really stayed Today too. The new deal there. Then the next day, the New York Post ran a second much tinier tory inside the paper, just to say, okay we guess those weren't the right people. And THEN, Rupert Murdoch doubled down when he tweeted: "All NYPost pics were those distributed by FBl. And instantly withdrawn when FBl changed directions." Except for, you know, all the papers. Those weren't really withdrawn. (Also, apparently someone wrote up an apology letter purporting to be from NY Post Editor Col Allen, printed out some ible this week put out some really amazing Until Saturday, when they published a Howie Carr column doctored "out of sensitivity." Then contributor Kirsten Powers a pressure cooker bomb ad for pressure cookers. On sale! At paywall, allowing non-subscribers unlimited access for days. The New publisher apologized and admitted having made an "error in judgment" in publishing the offend Lindsey Graham. Just e Cod Times a n a crazy abortion bomber is a terrorist o sell the Globe. In a just world, thethe Minneapolis Star Tribune ran thecopies and went around inserting them into copies of the Post. Vigilante price would now go way up DISCLAIMER: This chart is not meant to be a representation of every amazing and/or terrible thing done by every media outlet this week.
