Why you shouldn't necessarily depend on only blogs and new media for hard news coverage:

• "For those who might've missed the story (or just woken up), there were 4 terrorist attacks on London trains and buses this morning during rush hour." [Ultragrrrl]

• "...One of the bombs went off very near Buckingham Palace!" [Pink Is the New Blog]

• "As the casualties and death toll increase (1000 casualties, at least 30 dead) in London..." [Gothamist]

• "FRANCE DID IT!!!! THEY WERE PISSED THEY DIDNT GET THE OLYMPICS!!!!" [Craigslist]

• "...We re so very glad the Olympics aren t coming here." [Gawker]
