New York Post jumped the gun, running pictures of two "suspects" who had nothing to do with the bombing.

A lot of their reporting this week has been subpar.

Colbert took notice.

New York Post is one of those papers that favors sensationalist reporting, so this is hardly surprising.

I am reminded of that running gag they had in The Critic where the NY Post places the words "Nude", "Headless", "Sewage" and "Governor" into every headline, no matter what the actual news are.

Practicing our patriotism, of course! /sarcasm

But in all honesty, this is pretty daisies shitty. I don't really have much to say, except my condolences to anyone affected by this.

Keep in mind that China's architectural standards aren't so great and that the Boston event may be what's spurring the "rash" of those incidents.
