hey guys southbury from Jay she's calling regard to do the talk you had about the media coverage of the Boston Marathon stuff and first obviously you know feel sorry for those folks secondly and I was born and raised in Sandy Hook Connecticut so kind of was close to one of these myself and I think part of the problem now is just that we watch articles get edited real-time it's a fact right now ten minutes from now it's not a fax the other piece after the fact that I saw from the crowd source standpoint is everybody has way too much access to this information now and with all the pieces on the table people can put together any story they want I think what he's trying to say and he brings up really good points and like I said we learned so much this last week about how powerful and how dangerous the internet is I think the big thing at least the way I see it there's no delay anymore right we have reached that singularity where there's things happen and everyone knows about it and in almost instantaneous fashion so they nothing can be verified well that's because citizens no information now before media rights do but nothing can be verified right away because it's instant right because everything is just Bam Bam Bam Bam so quick there's no room for vetting yeah whatsoever don't don't forget to the competition like again these are these are businesses trying to make money yeah the competition is so freaking hot and fierce that it's in the best interest of a news entity from a financial point of view where we've disregarded integrity just to be the first to a news story right yeah they kind of go to they kind of forego that vetting that used to be like Walter Cronkite old-time journalism and now they're just like all right we're going to go with this and Gamble one of the crazy things that I saw yesterday on that fine Boston bombers subreddit was that someone posted a photo a second photo after the bomb blast had happened that showed the younger I in the picture like sort of in the background it was only after the thread had reached maybe 30 40 messages that someone was like wait have you reported this to the FBI yet right there's just so much information it's too much for our own good because they're the world now has this consciousness online right where everything that happens in the real world is emulated in some in varying degrees of accuracy online so like there's this constant almost parallel timeline that happens in the real it's I feel it feel like I'm in the goddamn matrix it's like the real world which we all occupy and then the virtual world which like doesn't operate on the same octave just kind of like those on gender it's fast it's just react it's very strange they live in that kind of you know dichotomy right
