Jumping the gun…
So how many times today did the cable nets announce that Saddam Hussein had been transferred to Iraqi custody? I know FNC did it once around 2:47 pm with Page Hopkins all but swearing up and down that it had definately happened after an earlier false rumor this morning…only to have Shepard Smith announce about half an hour later that the U.S. State Department had shot down that story as false. So who else jumped the gun today?
This was on Sky News at 01:10pm… by this time BBC World and CNN International begin breaking news also…
