Malaysian passenger plane shot down over Ukraine

My microblog notes this evening:

A Malaysian passenger jet was blown out of the sky over eastern Ukraine today. It occurred around mid-day our time, but as of 8:55 p.m., I have not read a story about it yet. I'm waiting for the media to finish with their rush-to-be-first-with-errors period. #media

JR: It's best to wait 6 to 12 hours after the event has occurred to read a story, which I will call version 1.0. Then wait another 12 hours to read version 2.0. Consuming too much information in the initial hours leads to a confusing waste of time.
