I watched the news today, oh boy!

And it was NBC, not CBS.
It's more TMZ or Inside Edition than anything resembling real journalism.
They covered the Comey indictment (without having anyone say how ridiculous it was)
Then King Charles in DC (without how embarressing Trump was)
And then;
Video of a bus driver passing out and the kids stop the bus.
A balloon hits a casino in Las Vegas
A women fell to her death on a Cruise Ship.
A contestant who was once on The Voice died in a car crash
And some feel good story I can't remember

A waste of a half hour and close to zero information that affects 99.9% of the viewers.

Attacker is in custody. They sometimes refer to the incident as the Golders Green investigation, in case you see that first.

Edited to add: Stabbed victims in stable condition.
