"No, he strictly told us they was alive," Casto said. "Three hours later he come back and said they wasn't."

Went to sleep last night a few minutes after the third overtime of the I Don't Care About Either Team But It's Football So I'll Watch It Anyway Bowl. At that point word was coming that twelve of the thirteen trapped miners were still alive. This morning, I see a reference on [livejournal.com profile] gloomchen's journal that, indeed, the numbers were reversed: one barely surviving, twelve dead, and there were three hours when the world believed the opposite. I had trouble sleeping, myself, something seemed a little too Disney about the "ending" after so many days....

The nation's newspapers either became clarion calls of false hope or messengers of an unwelcome tragedy this morning. Editor & Publisher calls it "one of the most disturbing and disgraceful media performances of this type in recent years," and, well, that's saying something.

Me? I'll settle for taking my meds and getting through the day. That will simply be enough for me.
