POPSGoogle Latitude, now with Location History & Alerts Good news... I no longer have to pay for anti kidnapping implants. Bad news... Not only do they know where I live, they no know when I'm home.

It's unreasonable to expect them to avoid errors entirely. The inherently confusing nature of a mass shooting like this, combined with the need to rely on second-hand or otherwise unreliable sources (including, sometimes, official ones), will mean that even conscientious reporters end up with inaccurate information in cases like this. That's all understandable and inevitable. But shouldn't there be some standards governing what gets reported and what is held back?
