I think most networks were pretty careful yesterday in stressing when reports weren't completely verified.

Yeah, typicially i feel like they say "we are hearing that...." or "weve gotten reports that......".
I think its pretty obvisous when news shows are reporting unconfirmed information. Theres a lot of confusing when something like this happens, as long as a news outlet isnt making things up or offering unfounded specualitive opinion, i think its the right approach.
