CNN was running it in their headlines ticker all afternoon yesterday... strangely enough, they didn't interrupt any of their endless banter (and kettle interviews) to focus on it, despite the headline ticker saying, "Stay with CNN for updates..."

That alone made me figure it was a non-event. I mean, they were going gaga over the kid who cut his head with the President--sensationalizing the whole thing left and right ("Ambulances dispatched to the PRESIDENTIAL rental home!!!!!!!")--and this didn't even manage a peep at the time from the on-air bloviators.


That's pretty much what I figured. By calling it a "device," CNN makes it out to be a bomb or IED...
