CNN did something right in my books,
They posted a link about 5 viral stories about the bombing which are
not true

This is what caught my eye, how they won't link to the guys feed, which is related to a previous discussion on this thread (I like how CNN handled it):

Conspiracy theories We almost hate to even address this stuff. We'll start with a bottom line: Anyone saying they know what happened at this point is making it up. But that didn't stop far-fetched imaginings, often based in political ideology, from flying almost immediately after the attack. One syndicated talk show host (who won't be named and whose content won't be linked here) tweeted that the attacks "stink to high heaven" of a so-called "false flag," or staged attack. "False flag" is an old naval term that's come to be used for a military action that's not what it appears to be.

Also this restores a little faith in humanity:

At least one Web user was ready for this. He registered a website -- bostonmarathonconspiracy.com -- on Monday. Clicking the link reveals a white page with black text reading: "I bought this domain to keep some conspiracy theory kook from owning it. Please keep the victims of this event and their families in your thoughts. Thank you
