The authorities did an amazing job of controlling information following the Boston Marathon bombing. It's getting much better than it used to be and will continue to improve.
But you hit the nail on the head with the reporters. They are accountable to no-one during crises such as this. 200 dead draws more eyeballs than 20 and that's ALL they care about.
