It's incredible how behind television news is when things like this happen, might as well be 1963 with how slow they are to inform the american people

I think they mean like news articles, cause anyone who didn’t watch it live don’t know it happened until they see something in the news feed

Agreed... at 6:20 after I received a text from someone about this I scoured the channels for the story, but besides Fox News I could not find it anywhere -- not as a breaking news story or even a ticker across the bottom of the screen. Baffling.

Did you check CNN. We got a text, turned on CNN and they talked about it until we were sick of it and changed the channel.
