I use to enjoy listening to this guy. I only get to listen to him via pod cast so I am always 1-2 days behind.
Today I was listening to 5-22-17 podcast and at the end he is talking about how a speaker blew at the Ariana Grande. He said that most injuries are from the stampede of the crowd as if he was making lite of the situation. Then said it was a balloon poping. Said was not a terrorist attack. What a idiot.

I listened to that exact broadcast, LIVE that afternoon. So I can let him slide on the misinformation during the chaos, NO ONE knew right away as the news broke what it was. Several news agency, including CBS news said it was possibly a blown speaker or maybe balloons. Obviously Erickson got his info from there. He wasn't in Manchester. Not defending him but just apply reasoning to the situation as it happened. ALL of these on air personalities usually get the early information wrong, I try take the early reporting on casualty, cause, who, what, etc. with a few grain of salt.
