Validity of the News

Yesterday we had lots of information about what happened, we were updated every few minutes with new details

however by the evening most of what was said in the day was ommitted in the new broadcasts because it wasnt true

Perhaps we should wait a few hours to find out exactly what happened rather than listen to reports from excited journalists who vie with each other for the latest details without considering the validity.

^ Until ARY delivers it..i don't believe it.

Re: Validity of the News

Mr Pinstripe it will take ARY 10hrs to send a journalist plus(time to pack luggage) and then it will be old news and well be on tomorrows attempted suicide bombers.

Re: Validity of the News

The way it is reported now here is that a man was chased down because he had a bulky coat, he tripped and while on the ground, was shot 5 times.

Sounds a bit like over-kill and over-reaction to me......

Sorry Daisy.......

my feeble attempt to start posting again

Re: Validity of the News

the independent newspaper says he was shot three times, and others say 10 times.

Re: Validity of the News

^ 3 times in the head, at close range, sorta like execution style

Re: Validity of the News

Whatever happened yesterday, no "suspects"? No pics were shown, and now today this guy is killed for being a suspect?

Re: Validity of the News

My understanding is that the police only release info to the media which they think can help the police themselves catch the dudes. They didnt release CCTV still pictures and other intelligence yesterday because they wanted to catch the guys not alarm them and have them go in hiding.

Re: Validity of the News

Scotland Yard has delayed their debriefing for the public to include more information....

Re: Validity of the News

Releasing “wanted” pics to media, wouldn’t that help catch suspects rather running like they did and shoot… if he had any explosives he could have detonated and caused more “terror”, no?

Re: Validity of the News

I am sure they will NOW release some CCTV images, after having murdered a guy in cold blood, it seems.

Re: Validity of the News

News report - AP - here

Doesn’t sound good.

Re: Validity of the News

I am just glad it is not happening in the US. My parents who are due to fly into Heathrow this coming Wednesday are freaking out.

^ Theres nothing to freak out over. Just be sure to have your flak jacket, helmet and sidearm ready. Instead of public transport I would recommend a Bradley armoured vehicle.
