Sounds like some employee in the area wanted an early start to their 4-day weekend.

Wonder why it's not running on, a banner at the bottom of the screen, on the VNN TV channel ? Oh, maybe that would not be good for sales to let folks know of any (possible) danger, or weather threats, escaped convicts, or other such ?

I couldn't even find it in a google search under "Sumter bomb" and clicking "news." The only recent reference was one at a school in Wildwood, this past March.

It was all over The Paper That Shall Not Be Named, probably less than an hour after the first report.

If it reflects negatively on TV, that paper will run it. Exhaustively.
