Shepard Smith on Fox News: "Berlin police are now saying 9 people are dead. Witnesses are saying that the truck was travelling at at least 40 miles per hour."

I despair on here sometimes. British witness said the truck ploughed into the middle of the market at high speed. Accident my arse. |

On the general forum, I simply wrote RIP in their topic on the same incident. This is the political forum. So I started a thread on the political implications.

Listening to a witness on Sky just now... it sounds deliberate.

BBC is always so delayed and behind compared to other news outlets
It's like the Southern Rail of TV Networks |

The problem with Sky News, as well as almost every other news channel these days, is that they want it to be terrorists, and the quicker they can jump on the bandwagon the more visitors they will receive. Ker-ching!
Anyway back to Berlin, there are more photos here - http://www.bild.de/regional/berlin/w...7292.bild.html At least 9 dead according to Bild. |

It's like the Southern Rail of TV Networks They do seem slower but generally get the facts correct.

I was in that square a few months ago. It's a big public transport interchange as it's near the zoo, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and a lot of hotels. I'd imagine it would have been very busy there with the Christmas market.

Sky, and several other TV outlets do indeed tend to make early assumptions although I doubt it is to increase viewer numbers, however the BIB is rather distasteful in the circumstances

I do. I discovered the general forum topic after I started this one, not before. I know in these times, one can get turned around a little, but there really is no conspiracy. I have not seen you express any sympathy for the victims - only snipe at FMs, but I do not assume that is because you have no sympathy - just different priorities I guess.

I guess the speculation is based on what happened in Nice in July.
