I think it's funny how the national press doesn't even realize how petulant they sound whining about how they weren't told first! It does not help with their credibility.
Now that Mr. Whittington has given a press conference and wasn't wearing any bandages on his face or neck I believe this story will die pretty quickly.
It is hard not to say something negative about the press at this point but I will refrain and so should you. I'm tempted to vent in the Underground but I can't stand going down there.
