london bombing

You're all going to wake up to this story of the bombings in London, and I'm sure the details will be much more clear by then, because I'm passing out now.

I just wanted to note that I've had CNN on since around the time that it happened, and this coverage is embarrasing. You can actually HEAR the disappointment in the journalists' voices upon reporting that there are only two confirmed deaths so far. Fucking vultures. They're going absolutely crazy over it, and it's bad, but not nearly as bad as they wish it was.

They interviewed one guy who talked about being rescued from the Tube, and they harped several times that it took a "full 20 minutes" before the Underground staff rescued everyone in the train. So what appears to be six coordinated bombs in different tubes went off, and they rescued people within 20 minutes, and you're looking down your nose and talking about the confusion and lack of coordination? You've got to be kidding me. It looks, from where I'm sitting, that they're responding really well to what has to be a hugely terrifying and confusing event.

It just kills me to watch these jackals trying to drum an already awful story into something worse. They want death, and confusion, and incompetence, and fingers to point. Report the goddamn facts.

Edit: Man, the BBC is not prepared for this. The BBC website is totally hammered. I've not been able to get the page to load for about 20 minutes.
