They would have had time to formulate some exit-strategy for when they would be approached by the authroites.
All the instant media sites, all the interactive social media sites and all the news media clammering to be the first to "break the case" should shoulder some of the responsibility for broadcasting information that may possibly cost more people's lives.
Sure, we all want to know the facts, wea ll want to know NOW, before anyone else, but at what opossible cost?
Now we have news stations and papers tripping all over themselves, reporting bogus information, asking the same questions over and over and over again all in the hopes of getting "the scoop".
I found myself turning off the tv, the radio, and tossing the newspaper.
That's just how I feel with the amount of scavenging going on with the news media. I only wish they were as "dedicated" and "committed" to reporting good news, but we all know that won't bring in the ratings as a good disaster will.
