The bomb went off three hours before this "search" by Think Progress. The Charlie Hebdo shooters were still at large. Nobody even really knew what happened had happened in Colorado Springs. The next day it was all over CNN. I know because we keep it on CNN at work during the day.

That graphic is a misleading piece of propaganda. It might be technically true, but it certainly doesn't tell the story.
