“In this age of instant reporting, and Tweets, and blogs, there's a temptation to latch on to any bit of information -- sometimes, to jump to conclusions. But when a tragedy like this happens, with public safety at risk and the stakes so high, it's important to do this right. That's why we have investigations.

In that…episode, he was…targeted as a suspect because—like thousands of others—he was running away from the blast…then came CNN’s declaration that police had arrested a “dark-skinned male”—again, unquestioningly blared all over the world, drowning out a CBS News report alleging that the “man sought as a possible suspect is a white male, wearing white baseball cap on backwards, a gray hoodie and a black jacket.”…
