Pretty much..I'll see if I can get the exact wording. laugh out loud

Every report just seems to go back and forth about things.
They have to fill airtime with something, never mind the accuracy of it.

The thought that so many people spend so many hours training for a marathon to make to the Boston or New York races and then some idiot feels the need to do this - makes me really want to spend more time with my dog. Sadwalk left with even less faith in humanity

CBS has an injured count of around 50, this is based on the tally of numbers given by spokespersons at three of the major hospitals in the area, Mass General, Brigham and Tufts.

The mayor of Boston is to hold a press conference shortly.
