| #5 Anyone notice TallyBoys are late to announce on many of these blasts? Twice the publicity: once when the act is reported, a second time when the claim is ditto. Or even a third time, if there is an interim update of casualties and damage. Claim it the same day it occurs, and the media will quickly get in the habit of delaying release of such stories until the claim comes through. |
