A wonderfully funny critique of the news coverage of the Boston bombing.

Eh, I don't like this:
(1) Reddit is not a news site. Reddit is not a newspaper. Reddit is a discussion board. I see no problem with people discussing these things. I see nothing wrong with a conversation that says "this guys is suspicious".
(2) Some of the people circled in this segment are genuinely suspicious. The guys in the combat gear are military equipped mercenaries. They're not the bombers, but their presence is interesting.
(3) The younger brother did not shoot himself in the neck, apparently. So Charlie Brooker is now as guilty as everyone else he's mocking.

You story link is way different than what I found,

This story is vastly different and far more credible. It propose that this dark skin guy was a know terrorist and on a watch list.

The 18 min video is not bias to the left or right just facts.

I'm sorry, did you just say Glenn Beck is more credible?

Yeah, a far-rightie gun-nut website that regards Glenn Beck as a legitimate source. I'm sure there's no bias.

Check the book section, folks. All you need to know about theblaze.com.

For the love of god. Bias is a noun. Biased is the word you're looking for. Bias is a thing you have. Biased is a thing you are. Type it with me. Biased.

BIASED.
