Distrust of the Media on a Cyber Monday. How better to start off the week.
Sometime mid-morning the news came across social media of an "Active Shooter" situation on the campus of Ohio State University. I fired up the Roku and sought out some network coverage of this event.
By the time I'd gotten to begin to gather some information for myself, the situation was ended and the mop up was beginning. What was fascinating in the coverage from the local CBS affiliate was their plastering over the screen and discussion of the "Active Shooter."
And now six to seven hours later we find out that it's wasn't an "Active Shooter" incident, event at all.
Will there be any outcry and pontification about how wrong the networks got this? Will this repercussion be as forceful and passionate as against the "Fake News" that supposedly surrounded the recent Presidential Election? I for one won't be holding my breath.
