The Anderson Cooper West Virginia Mine 360 degree fuckup

Welcome back from "the holidays". While back home, I watched the W. Virginia mine story unfold. I forgot how the cable networks take a story and run it into the ground. On the plane, I watched the coverage live. Anderson Cooper from CNN was reporting live from WVA. when he was informed by someone that 12 people had survived. I was amazed that CNN took the info as truth, from a nonofficial without confirmation. I flipped over to FOX to witness Geraldo trolling for emotion, hugging locals, praising the miracle. It all seemed surreal. This morning I woke up to find out that CNN and Fox may have jumped the gun. Sick and pitiful.
