Hey, Cartoon Network guys – Don’t you watch CNN?

Of course Cartoon Network and CNN are owned by Turner Broadcasting. How can a story receive so much coverage all day on CNN and its “brother” station, Cartoon Network, is oblivious that the news stories are about its own “marketing campaign?”

How long did the Cartoon Network people know that Boston was in an uproar before someone got enough of a clue to call the authorities in Boston? There is also some speculation that calls may have been made to the police as part of the marketing campaign.

The first device to raise alarm in Boston was found by a transit worker at a subway and bus station underneath Interstate 93 on Wednesday morning, leading to the temporary shutdown of the station and the highway.

Later, police said four calls, all around 1 p.m., reported devices at the Boston University Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge, at a Boston street corner and at the Tufts-New England Medical Center.

Two devices, at the Longfellow Bridge and the medical center, however, turned out to be unrelated to the marketing campaign, Police Commissioner Edward Davis said.

The rash of calls around the same time is being investigated, Davis said. When asked if the calls were coordinated as part of the marketing campaign, he said: “There’s no indication it came from panicked residents.”
