Most of us are capable of grasping the fact that there's a lot going on right now--multiple major news stories in a single week, even in a single day. The recent Times Square car-bombing attempt is one of them. It's natural for news organizations to follow-up, natural for them to hype related stories. They did the same thing for weeks and weeks with earthquake stories--holy crap!! A 3.2 earthquake on the aooooooooon!!!!--as if the world was ending. The notion that there's some kind of nefarious Obama-led conspiracy afoot to distract the American people from what you think the REAL story ought to be strikes me as kind of ridiculous.
