So the woman who answered shouldn't be expected to know about breaking news. Just a technical point, AlertNet is actually Reuters humanitarian service, not the wire.

Thanks for taking time to make contact with Michael and posting it. Looks like CNN missed out here. I thought it usually is a big deal to be the first to get the video. Out of curiousity I checked to see how CNN's I-Report, MSNBC's FirstPerson and FNC's U-Report were set up on their websites. CNN's is easy enough to find with MSNBC's being harder but still fairly easy to find as you read down through the page. But FNC's was ridiculous. It is way at the bottom of the page in a tiny font. They did nothing to make it stand out or easy to find. That was interesting, Spud. Thanks for taking time to make contact with Michael and posting it.
