I'm surprised the national news is still non-stop carrying it.


a crisis is good for 2 things..

1. filling the daily news cycle when not much else is going on

2. keeping the DC pols spinning the message that "you need them to fix this"...

LIVE UPDATES: Four soldiers killed in Chattanooga attacks


Although, I guess they wouldn't be soldiers, they'd be Marines.

Yeah, that'd be huge because everyone keeps saying "injured". That could explain why the press conference is taking forever to get going.



I've just been surprised, usually there is an initial flood of tweets and it dies quickly. This did that, but it's strange if there are 4 deaths, of Marines, no less.

Anyway, just a media observation, not trying to derail the thread.

MSNBC is saying that they only have information on the injured officer. They haven't said anything about any military personnel.

MSNBC is saying that the blood banks have been calling for urgent donors.

It's MSNBC, what do you expect? The local newspaper there is reporting they died.

I know. I should be following a local source.

During the Charleston shooting, the local sources had info wayyyyy before the national media did.

From the poli-board thread, apparently ISIS tweeted a warning this morning that this would happen.

I don't think that's even a thing.

Post a picture of the letterhead or one of the free pens they give you.

ISIS is just dying to get the US military in a full on war. Poking the sleeping giant.

I wish Gibbs was a real person. He'd shut down ISIS in a year.
