The fracturing of a major news story. Where reporters, hacks, and talking heads all begin to talk about THE story as if they were experts on the subject. As if, that barking Atlanta newscaster knows anything about avalanches or Wall Street derivatives.
Anything Nancy Grace(CNN) reports on.
Anything Geraldo reports(FOX) on. -or-
Each reporter grabbed that death story and started spalling.
(could this happen here?, Police aren't saying but my sources say...)
