    Responsible adults and news outlets make sure they got it reasonably right before putting everyone on blast. You shouldn't believe preliminary reports and shouldn't repeat them, since they're BS.

    News outlets should do a better job especially on something like this. I’m not disagreeing with that.

    Saying preliminary reports are BS in general is ignorant. Preliminary reports using erroneous information is BS.

    It is understandable why people echoed that perception. Its called history, intent, capability, and ability. Those outlets were the loudest and probably drowned out other more accurate reports.

    You would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Intel, counterintel, or counterterrorism community who didn’t at first question if this was an accident or done on purpose.

    Okay, but facts matter. WGRZ had an eyewitness account within an hour on video. The witness of the event clearly indicated the scenario was not what was initially reported by the national outlets. We should expect better than what we got from the large and national networks.  So yes, it was surprising. And we are not at a “final investigation” phase. 

    Yes facts do matter. As they come out a better picture of what actually happened will emerge. Was any eyewitness account purposely ignored or suppressed? Did those news stations just have bad sources? 

    Not sure what you are getting at with your last sentence. Never said we are in a final investigative stage. I said preliminary reporting does not have all the information a final investigation would have.

    If:    Skinner Thompson Tuch
           JJP     Cozens      Quinn
                      Mitts
     

    Are 7 of the top 9 for the next few years.   Who are the guys who take to 2 remaining spots in the top 9? 

    Are you better to have a traditional 4th line or go 4 scoring lines? 

    you could potentially go with a bottom 6 of: 

    Savoie         Mitts   Benson
    Greenway   Kulich   Rosen 

    Personally, I'd like them to acquire a hardnosed Power Forward type (ie Lawson Crouse) and trade away one of the prospects   but which one will be the million dollar question.

     

     

     

     

    I liked the Greenway Mitts Benson line. Seemed like a good mix of power, skill, and playmaking. At the very least I’d like to see more of Mitts and Benson.

    It never ceases to amaze me how preliminary reports can be so ..... subject to change.

    Shouldn’t surprise you. Preliminary reports don’t have every single detail that a final investigative report would have. As more information is obtained, better analysis can happen.

    Given the time of year, historical international acts, and current world events involving the U.S. it should not be difficult to understand how early reporting thought it was terrorism.
