    Barney Fife is H.L. Mencken compared to today's journalists

    The Associated Press and the Boston Globe reported a suspect had been arrested and was en route to the Moakley Federal Courthouse in South Boston. CNN also reported that a suspect was in custody, before backtracking from its earlier report and saying no suspect had been nabbed. The Boston Police Department and the US Attorney's office in Boston denied those reports on Wednesday afternoon, saying no arrest had been made.

    The FBI issued a sternly worded rebuke to the press for reporting that a suspect was in custody.

    "Contrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack," Special Agent Greg Comcowich said in the statement. "Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting."

    Oh! I get it! You're the guy who just spouts whatever pops into your head. My sympathies for your affliction.

    We never learn. Until someone in an official capacity says what the situation is, it's not to be believed.
