I just watched the east coast feed of the NBC nightly news, and this may be a sampling of what they are doing. It showed gate agents saying that flights would be on time, when NBC was tracking the incoming flight and already knew the flight would be late (in one case 2 1/2 hours late). Gate agents were just repeating what they saw in the computer, so obviously information was not getting updated in a timely manner by "whoever" is tasked with that duty.
