CNN has a big read breaking news headline up. CNN Breaking News: President Barack Obama tells Congressional Black Caucus Foundation: My name isn't on the ballot but our progress is. Going to a more reliable, news worthy source for New York: Hollywood Reporter Multiple People Injured in New York City Building Explosion NYCityAlerts: Manhattan: Box 615, West 23 St & 6th Ave. U/D; IED Explosion with injuries. Area evacuated At least 14 injured. The blast was almost an hour ago. Our news media is worthless.
Sputnik News New York Fire Department Confirms 26 Injured in Massive Explosion in Manhattan Superstation 95 PIPE BOMB EXPLOSION IN NEW YORK CITY -- 6th Avenue at 23rd St. "Smell of Gunpowder in the Air" -- Multiple Pipe Bombs Located by Fire Dept - Requests NYPD Terror Task Force Meanwhile the mainstream news media is continuing to cover an Obama stump speech. They're probably huddled in meetings wondering how to cover up two terrorist bombings in one day, and how it might affect the campaign.
Thank goodness for the British press. They're all over the story. UK Express BREAKING: Loud explosion rocks New York causing 'multiple injuries' UP TO 25 people have been injured after a loud explosion sent shockwaves through New York, with witnesses reporting wounded people being rushed away from the scene in ambulances.
So is it like an IED or just another shitty old New York building explosion? I remember there was a gas explosion in an older building a year or two back.
But try finding it at CNN or something. You have to search the ABC site to find a link to a blurb. It'll probably be on page 8 of the New York Times tomorrow. Terrorist bombings in New Jersey and Manhattan on the same day and the press certainly doesn't seem to want people to know about it.
As an example, this is the entire story that ABC News has, if you find the tiny little link to it over on the side. Firefighters are at the scene of an explosion in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood that officials said injured at least 25 people. All the injuries were believed to be minor, according to the Fire Department of New York. The New York Police Department Bomb Squad was searching the area, checking garbage cans, for any other possible explosive devices. That's it. In contrast, the British papers could devote a glossy magazine issue to their coverage. You'd think ABC and CNN weres based in London or Paris and the Express or Daily Mail were based in Manhattan, but you'd be wrong.
Possible second device found a few blocks away. Police are investigating. And a mass stabbing in a Minnesota mall injuries six, one dead.
Especially not Hillary. Wait till she wakes up tomorrow and reads about the bombings. Meanwhile, the left was trying to slam Trump for claiming the New York incident was a bomb. Then it was confirmed it was a bomb, so tthey tried to slam him for knowing ahead of time. It's like watching him toy with three-year olds.
also, by the way, while "explosion" != "bomb", even if you end up with "bomb" that still doesn't equal "terrorisim" - plenty of bombs do not have terroist implications. As much as the Deplorables are drooling over the idea that someone might die for the glorious cause of their god-king.
Oh, I'm sure it was just some irate garbage worker trying to get revenge on dumpsters the same day someone tried to blow up a Marine Corps run in New Jersey.
The Jersey thing seems obviously malice intent, though it remains to be seen by whom (more non-islamic attacks of this sort have occurred in this country in the last 15 years than those related to Islamic terrorism) and "ordinary" Americans have been terrorizing other since hating Irish Catholics was a thing almost 200 years ago. That sort of shit happens. We'll see where it leads. The NY thing might be something similar, or it might not, but the timing was almost certainly coincidental since their was no "statement" target available.
Trump commenting on this bomb could be summarized by the headline "Dumpster Fire comments on Dumpster Fire"
