You need to tailor your expectations and have patience. Any "news" that comes out in the first few hours of an incident is likely to be provisional. Mainstream media have a dilemma:
A) Don't report on anything until it's solidly verified, and watch everyone flood to the alternative media and blogs while complaining about how slow the mainstream media is;
B) Report on news live as it's breaking, and hope your sources are good.
And of course alternative media can just post whatever the hell they want. It's not as though they have any legal responsibility or standing.
