Linkfest: Near-Drownings on Sync'd Swimming Team

Four members of a synchronized swimming team in Seattle nearly drowned Monday. Three of the girls passed out in the water, and so did a team mother who leaned over the edge. Was something wrong with the water itself? Or was the synchronized swimming itself to blame?

It's a mysterious Most.

Mike's treatment of this story was exactly what is bothering me about his hosting. He is extremely insensative, and he feels the need to editorializer every story. Putting in his two cents. This is reporting, whenI am looking for commentary I listen to other programs...Bring back the Newsiness and sensativaty that was emodied in Alison Stewart...maybe I'm going through corespondent withdrawl. Sorry Mike.

@Jonathan
You want cold cool news, listen to Morning Edition. And it's the Most, it's not the newscast.
