"Do we know who Gregg Hughes is?" "He's a guy on Reddit." -The Newsroom, HBO

Hold on!
Sorry, posted this while watching the show and did not update.
The tweets of one Mr. Gregg Hughes about the Boston bombing were quoted during the new episode of The Newsroom on HBO tonight. They made it seem like he sparked an internet witch hunt, a real viral spiral.
Update: Jimandthem points out I'm totally wrong. Instead of deleting the post, here is the correction:

Just saw this, it's pretty funny in the context of O&J. The whole Newsroom show is about trying to find credible sources to report the news and the name Gregg Hughes was brought up as a completely non-credible source.

youtube clip or it didn't happen.

I'd say it's guaranteed to be on tomorrow's show if they hadn't started the Jay Thomas discussion without clips ready. Maybe they will have audio from an iPhone set next to a TV if you're lucky.

Weren't O&A heavily into listening to the scanners and whatnot during the Boston bombing? I seem to recall them dedicating a pile of time to it.

Do we know who Gregg Hughes is?
Yes but HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON
Okay, this joke is played out.
The Gregg Hughes thing on this awful show made me laugh, though. Good post.
