Taken into custody and charged are two different things. The media confuses the two all the time.

It may be that someone has been taken into custody, but not yet charged. Some in the media hear “taken into custody” and think “arrested”, others hear “not yet charged” and think “not arrested yet”.

If the suspect were white, CNN would splash it across your flatscreen in letters six feet high,

“HE’S WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE!!!!!!!”

The newsies are being so secretive, becauset the bomber is not a white male heterosexual Christian gun owning Tea Party conservative with a Gadsden Flag in his yard.

dark skinned person who they arrested. We’ll see.

Why would they announce it before they physically had the person?

9 minutes ago from the Chicago Tribune:

"CNN and Fox News have reported an arrest has been made, while the Associated Press and Boston Globe say the bombing suspect is in custody and expected in federal court. However, CBS and NBC are reporting there has not been an arrest in the case.

CNN: John King says reputable law enforcement told him suspect was “dark skinned male.” Adds “some people will take offense at that.”

Megyn Kelley trying to keep it transparent. Two LE people said an arrest was made. Two other LE sources said ‘no arrest’.

The FBI has cancelled one presser - moved it to 5:00 p.m.

Now Megyn ‘officially confirming suspect not ID’d and no arrest imminent.

If their was more than one suspect, the announcement of an arrest might cause the others to go dark and flee. I can see why LEO’s might want to squelch such a story.

Now no arrest.

Looks like Obama got to Police/FBI.

Let the dark skinned muzzie go. Find a white guy.

An arrest does not mean guilt...especially if you have brown skin.

No they aren’t. They’re slow because they want to get it right. Remember Sandy Hook? I remember Freepers SCREAMING for the name of the suspect to be released. (In the desperate hope it was a Muslim). And then a name was released. And it was the wrong guy (the perps brother). Take a deep breath.

According to Rush, DHS has just said NO ARREST has been made.

CNN and NBC, et al, are walking their arrest statements back.
