Politicians keep saying "this one or that one" is a very safe city!! Well!!, sorry it used to be safe, 1 attack is too much, multiple is ungovernable.

I watch Anderson Cooper and think that he must not like going into work some days. He tries to remain neutral, but the flakes working there can make it tough.
Still, this story won't be too big on CNN unless they tie Trump into the misadventure on the bridge. Trump provoked someone. But the producers will realize the story comes from the UK and it will just quietly go away.
You have to realize the audience that watches CNN. They need that level of clarification as they don't have minds of their own.
And it's all Trump's fault. Wait for it ...
They're waiting for an ID and motive. That will determine the coverage.
Oh... and you're right... people who watch CNN do need an explanation on what a firearms incident is.
UK Parliament is in lockdown.
