Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]
The problem with social media with this one is that they're misleading and frustrating FBI efforts as much as helping. Like the asshat who announced to the world via twitter that the FBI was at his apartments. Thanks for letting them know we're coming guy.
From what I've seen, social media has been just as reliable as regular media. Some of the info has turned out to be accurate while some of it has turned out to be inaccurate. The same goes with the mainstream media. Today, people on social networks reported that the suspect was in custody. Two days ago CNN did the same thing. I haven't really seen a significant difference in the quality of reporting.
