Did you happen to catch the clusterfuck that was cable news today?
For reasons that are still not very clear, the landlord of the apartment of the married couple who killed 14 people in San Bernardino on Wednesday ripped a piece of plywood from the dwelling’s front door – and members of the media just blasted in and started touching everything…despite it being a crime scene:
San Bernardino Sheriff's spokesperson to Grasswire on reporters entering apartment: "That is not a cleared crime scene."

Seriously though, it was insane:
It was so crazy that tv news people who weren’t there had others document that they were watching in such disbelief that they could not even sit properly!:
And, just when you thought things could not possibly get any more strange…this dude came out of the apartment with what many believed to be a popsicle:

Which he would later claim was, in fact, just a screwdriver used to help the landlord take the door down.
I can confirm that no frozen treats were involved in my assisting the landlord. https://t.co/6iiQVECzOB

As @tobyharnden has cleared up, it was actually a screwdriver to help take down plywood boards. It is not a popsicle or other frozen treat.

Oh yes, this also happened:
CNN saying now that "not solely members of the media" now roaming the apartment, including a "woman with a dog"

Not the media’s finest hour.
