I was watching MSNBC too. It first was a grim announcement then this whole Bin Laden stuff comes on. I mean everybody --everyone was somber, worried and very concerned about the pieces of paper they they were holding. Then they cut to something and when they came back the mood was different, and so was the news.
Very odd.

If there previous "Grim" announcement was not such a big deal why would they take the time to back track and explain why they chose the words grim?
I belive a gag order was placed and it made them back track on there announcement. Something big was going to be said and its prof because of the back track!

The Timeline is what has me wondering =
1) Announcment that Obama is going to address the nation on Breaking News - soon.
2) Reporters/anchors speculate as to what the News Is
3) Reporters delay
4) Reporters announce that Osama "may have been captured or dead"
5) Announcment that Osama is Dead
6) Obama delayed Breaking News "while he writes speech"......oh sure....
7) More delay - more info from Reporters - We Wait and wait...
8) Finally Obama steps to the mike and gives us the Same info we have gotten in the last hour from news stations.
Why the dribble of info?
Why the delay?
Why the Sunday Night timing?
None of it really makes any sense.

I understand what you mean. It's great...I'm glad, and I understand it is exciting because he was a horrible person, but really, people are celebrating like it's over...like a threat is gone. He hasn't reared his ugly head for a while. And now he's dead, and it's Monday, and nothing has changed really.
What I can't seem to get is why no one has posted a thread about both Bin Laden and Hitler's death was announced late at night on May 1. Hitler- May 1, 1945. Also, the famous Bush "mission accomplished" speech was on May 1st.
Oh...also, this should sit well with the prophecy/ numerology believers...it is exactly 66 years later!! Chew on that for a while!

i didnt see any of what your talking about so i'm guessing here, but i think a likely explanation is that the newsreader misread 'osama' as 'obama'.

Oh, Beltane, or a profane facsimile, is very important - so something on May Day has a purpose. As to the 66? Heh. Synchronicity.
Wow MAY DAY! MAY DAY!

I think most of the posts on this thread are failing to understand that the broadcasters have their jobs and credibility on the line if they report something and panic people too soon. That's the real reason they were uneasy; they thought they were reporting mass U.S. casualties (the initial report was a US helicopter crash), not the death of Bin Laden.

I am not saying that the media doesn't cover things up, etc, but you have to admit, Osama being found, killed and we have a body ....that's pretty large news, right?

IMO Could someone at MSNBC messed up and wrote Obama instead of Osama , then handed it to the announcer? When the mess up was relized he was cut off, just in the nick of time.
Can you imagine how you would react, as a news announcer, being handed a piece of paper saying that the POTUS is dead???
