Hard to believe that this happened with local spokesmodel, David Muir, at the helm. Perhaps he was too busy scouring YouTube for more "news" stories.

They said "Tufts Medical Center in Somerville" on Channel 5 last night, as well. My wife and I gave each other the "wait, did they just say that?" look at the time.

...we were watching the same newscast, Michael, and had the same reaction! We wondered when Tufts built a new medical center on the Medford-Somerville (or as ABC News spelled it "Sommerville") campus. Someone at Channel 5 news should have caught the error and corrected it for their newscast.

There are three medical schools in Boston. Not one of them has its campus on or near the campus of its affiliated university.

You know what the BU stands for, right?
And before someone gives the reply, both Tufts and Harvard have their med schools close to their affiliated teaching hospitals and away from their main campuses.

The "Tufts Administration Building" is at 167 Holland Street in Somerville, some distance away from the main campus.
The Tufts buildings in Medford have Somerville phone numbers, a different area code than Medford.

And a huge portion of the Medford campus is actually in Somerville. It's a shame the city line sign on College Ave. is no longer there.

Change comes in baby steps.
They'll learn, eventually. Progress is not instant.
At least, I'm pretty sure that's something they taught in preschool. In the modern world, then...

Male student from South Korea. Probably suicide as it was "sudden" and the family requested no information be released.

The Commies are back, this time using media and news outlets to supply disinformation to the citizens of our great city! The tourists will be thinking that a medical center is in a different location than it actually is! When the tourist starts having a heart attack, they will be driven-to a hospital that isn't there!
An outrage! Of the most devilish kind!
Resist the Comintern!

who's = who is
whose = possessive of "who"
