Breaking now. Haven't seen an AP alert on it.

Channel 19 is the only Cleveland outlet reporting it now...Channel 10 in Columbus going with it as well.

 

AP moved an alert about 10 minutes ago, here's the first wire story.

Plain Dealer's website has nothing.

 

The Tribe and a governor's race are more important it would seem.

 

It is a pennant race after all.

 

And still nothing on Cleveland.com as of 12:52 a.m. Their new digital push is really paying off huh?

 

The guy seemed to have a pretty limited future. Can't say I blame him. RIP

 

More like Rot In Hell than RIP.

 

Now there's a little bit on there with a link that takes you to past coverage of the case.

 

I heard they wanted a stringer to throw together six inches and post a cell-phone pic...journalism is alive and well at the North Coast Media Group...errrr....The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

 

Ariel just asked Mohamed Atta to pass the sugar at the Little Corner of Hell coffee shop.
