UPDATED: Attacker at Ohio State University killed

Um, yeah. That's my point.

So, why doesn't the media allow this to happen?

 

Online clicks don't wait for the truth.

 

OK, I can't be the only one who saw the original headline of an "active shooter on Ohio State's campus" and thought "has anyone seen Jim Harbaugh today?"

 

Well, his new glasses make him look like he's reprising Michael Douglas' role in Falling Down.

 

Because idiots like you demand the whole story in the first five minutes.

 

Watts Hall is a material science and engineering building.

 

If you didn't park your ass on Twitter all day, you'd get the news like a lot people -- later and in a more complete fashion. Like, say, in Time magazine or The Week

 

Great work, Geraldo. Tear up the front!

 

Wait for it...

 

Really, YF. Anyone who's been a newsie, or even had a brawl break out during a basketball game, knows the first reports are confusing as hell. You go with what you got. Hell, even covering boxing, I as questions to make sure of what I saw. So easy to criticize from the outside, but it's different when you in the belly of the beast and try to tell the story, even in the instant information age.

 

Or Sweetchuck:

 

Ohio State itself said there was an active shooter on campus. Dumb liberal colleges!
