CNN is ****ing terrible at 'news' reporting

They should have disclaimers on everything they report along the lines of 'May not be true whatsoever'

CNN has changed their story 3 times already.  It's pathetic they call themselves a news organization when they are no better than a rumor mill.

I heard this on our local radio show, Rover's Morning Glory here in Cleveland. I cannot believe that idiot took his son that close to a fire to begin with. Most others are evacuating, or trying to, yet this idiot takes his (what I assume to be) very young son to the fire like a bug moving towards a zapper. I would definitely like to be within reach of the dad so that I can hit him so hard he wouldn't be able to hear either.

On a real note, there's far too much devastation going on this week. Something has to give...

The FBI just released video/photos of the suspected perps from Monday's tradgedy in Boston.

According to the FBI... Suspect #1 is the guy in the black hat.  And Suspect #2 is the guy in the white hat - wearing it backwards.  According the the FBI, suspect #2 (white hat) is seen leaving a the backpack he is carrying at the 2nd bomb location.

Here is my question... Are these guys golfers?  Look at the black hat... To me it looks like a Bridgestone B330 hat, similar to this style:

I hope the FBI snags these dudes soon.

The white hat looks vaguely like this one below, though I'm not sure the side logos match up quite right:

My heart goes out to my American Sandtrap buddies. I was working on a project in NYC when 9/11 went down, totally surreal experience, and I can't believe it's happened again. My hopes and prayers are with you. I hope these ****ers shank for the rest of their (hopefully really short) lives. Peace out. Edit* my comment got auto-modded but I'm pretty sure you can read between the asterisks.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Yea. That looks to be him when I zoom in about 2000%. Sans backpack too.

Check this out... Makes me sick.  This was posted on Reddit.  But that is the suspect - and you can see the 8yr old on the fence.  The pack was placed on the ground...

Jetfan, if you use your fancy zooming capabilities again, I think you'll see the other guy in there too.  Just to the right of the woman in the bright pink and the girl? in the purple, and immediately behind the next woman in black.  I saw a bigger version of this same picture and you could see him better.

CNN is all over the place right now, and I have absolutely no clue if all of this stuff going on in Watertown and MIT are related to the marathon bombing??  I assuming there is some sort of connection, but the whole thing is just chaos.  I'm just hesitant, since based on yesterday ... CNN is obviously super excited about being the first to report something, and so much so that they reported things that didn't even happen.

It is very tense here in the Boston area. They have essentially locked down Boston, Cambridge, Newton, Watertown and Waltham.  They have asked us to stay put (I am about 10 miles north).  My company is sending out updates.  Reports are that no one has ever seen a manhunt with this many Police.

Nononononono. I want him to be captured alive - then spend the rest of his life getting bummed in prison.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
