932: Roundly Debunked
Media Coverage of Manchester, Hero Stories, and Military Deployment
The hosts critique CBS News coverage of the Manchester bombing, specifically the "hero stories" that they claim are physically impossible given the nature of explosions. They also examine the deployment of British soldiers to the streets of London and Manchester. A segment from CBS is highlighted where a resident's quote about "carrying on" is used to imply she was reassured by the military presence, which the hosts call a manipulation of the narrative.
