This whole story flipped. I'm sure CNN is pissed.

All 3 cable news networks are still stokin' the fire and fannin' the flames right now. They're fighting for viewers, and the concept of responsibility be damned. Take away the television cameras and the crowds dissipate and the talking heads have to actually go back to reporting on events that affect the country and the world.

Chris Hayes, doing his show from the streets of Ferguson last night, embarrassed himself beyond belief in trying to make a non-situation into a news-breaking-on-my-show moment. You could see the disappointment on his face and hear it in his voice when what he thought was "something big happening" turned out to be two cops going to the assistance of someone in the crowd who fell ill.

Not that there's any actual NEWS to report on ...
