Boston Bombing Inacuracy

This post is about the sad inaccuracy of of some of the reports about the Boston bombing. This picture shows just how far the inaccuracy went. The New York Post is a newspaper for one of the largest cities in the United States and they put the wrong people as suspects on their front page.

They were so interested in getting the top headline out first that they gave us wrong information. This clearly shows that some people are not interested in giving us the proper facts. They are more interested in getting better reviews then other companies. Well sadly this did not work out for them to much. Now very few people hold a high opinion of them.

The saddest part about this is that these two people could have been seriously injured or even killed.

We as a country should step back and take a look at how media is affecting us and how the faster we want media to be at our fingertips the more likely it will be inaccurate and just plain guess work. It is also up to the editors of newspapers and television stations to make sure their information is accurate and will not cause harm to any individual.
