I saw this great commentary on ABC.com about the arrest of the two guys who put up the "lite brite" looking signs mistaken for bombs by the Boston Police.
Mark Frauenfelder makes some great points, but missed one: how much of the panic was fed by the news organizations?
Yes, a potential bomb found on a freeway overpass is news and should be reported, but non-stop on the national cable channels, even after it was determined they were harmless?
We seem to be addicted to fear. No?
