The Boston Marathon *Is* in Boston, and Other Things The New York Post Got Right

[baldguy]

Everyone is talking about all the things The New York Post got wrong during the course of its reporting on yesterday’s bombings in Boston. One example, per The Huffington Post (no relation!): “Soon after the blasts struck on Monday afternoon, the paper, citing law enforcement sources, said that 12 people had died. It stuck to this assertion all day, even as every other outlet put the number at two or, at the most, three.” And then there was the bit about a Saudi man being “in custody” of the Boston Police Department. The Boston Police Department—one of the top 10 sources, at least, for information relating to the Boston Police Department—disputed the report, saying that it did not have anyone in custody, Saudi or otherwise. As far as what’s been confirmed, the Boston Police Department still does not have anyone in custody.
