But there’s one pesky detail concerning the Boston Marathon bombing Maddow just can’t get her head around: the mysterious circumstances behind the death of 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev at the hands of the FBI during questioning, an incident that has all the makings of a government cover-up.

Ashley Banfield saying " the boston bombings may never have occurred" can be taken two ways.
She mis-spoke and meant was there a way it could have been prevented, so it never would occur
Or she is suggesting it never happened.

I agree that its being presented as though the whole thing could have been prevented but it seems to me that they are insinuating that theres more to it.
The title is part of a much longer quote. If its simply a piece on how the bombings could have been prevented had the brothers been apprehended earlier, its not really worthy of ATS.
At-least not in the conspiratorial section.
Maybe if I edit the thread title, it will be less misleading.

just part of the new image change that the Communist News Network is trying out, to boost their ratings. Fox has put a hurting on them and others.
first they start producing,PBS type documentaries and special reports, then they boot Piers Morgan, even though he says he decided to quit. yea after they told him to hit the road. now if they would just get rid of anderson cooper they might turn out to have a pretty good network.

I have an idea...lets just make stuff up with zero basis in fact. There is nothing whatsoever in that linked transcript that comes even close to suggesting the bombing didn't happen.

What image change is that...trying a little truth for a change?

As a result, CNN recently announced drastic changes to its format to include more reality programming, documentaries, and other non-news offerings. CNN To Ditch News Programming
CNN appears to be throwing in the towel, at least when it comes to being a cable news channel. With its ratings and reputation sinking, CNN announced Friday that the third-place network will be investing heavily in everything except serious news-gathering. This new focus will be towards "a variety of unscripted formats, including other travel shows, and 'immersive' nonfiction programs." This also includes documentary films like "Blackfish." CNN Throws In the Towel; Moves Away from News
While breaking news is still CNN’s bread and butter, formats like “Parts Unknown” and Morgan Spurlock’s “Inside Man,” as well as films like “Blackfish,” tend to be more reliably popular with young viewers. Cable news viewership skews old, but Bourdain often tops its cable news competition among viewers 18-49 and viewers 25-54, the two key sales demographics. “Blackfish” crushed all of the competition in those demos when it aired.

I think that the bombings did occur. I cannot say with any surety that we know the whole story but those who claim there were no bombings that it was all fake are making matters a lot more complicated than need be. If the govt were to conduct a false flag operation they would use real bombs.... not fake the whole thing which is just ridiculous to the nth degree.

So....exactly what would be the point of conducting a false flag bombing and using actors for the injured? The illogic of it all is....astounding.
If our govt were going to conduct a false flag operation to fake anything would be to invite exposure and discovery that would not exist/happen by just using the real deal with real casualties. There is absolutely zero logic to "fake" a bombing particularly in such a public manner. I am a strong believer in Occam's Razor even when subterfuge is being employed.
I would sooner believe the false flag operation was conducted with real bombs and real casualties than I would of the fake variety. I have little confidence in our govt's ability to do a lot of things well and efficiently. Blowing stuff up is one we do very well.
