3. Unfortunately, it was not true

CNN even had BREAKING NEWs to announce it, then they got the an official live on the air... only to then find out that the story was NOT TRUE. So what does CNN do, they interview the guy for over 3 minutes "talking" about how they got the message and how it was passed around... and no one double checks this before they announce it to the world.

There are families that are grieving, you just don't do that to them.
