I commented on this story in another thread. The reporting I heard on this was the worst of the worst. Basic Journalism covers the who, what, when, where and why. This story reported on the what and ignored the rest.

Even the where, which was reported as New Jersey, was in error as it was only a part of the where. Since the crews were assigned to New York that should have been mentioned and it was not.

I have been in situations where the spreading of false information during an emergency was considered a crime, and yet now there are those that considered it a virtue.

Why is this when no good can possibly come of it?
