CNN Coast Guard question asked and answered
I wondered this morning when former CNN Pentagon correspondent and recent Salzburg friend Jamie McIntyre would discuss Friday's CNN Coast Guard controversy in his new blog. He posted this afternoon. Among the several points: "There's an irony here. CNN is one of the few networks that still routinely monitors police radios to get a jump on news. It's a bit of a lost art. As an old radio reporter I listened to scanners all the time. And they produced plenty of scoops for me over the years, but as any good police reporter knows, you never, NEVER, report information heard over a scanner without getting verification…."
