Testing, Testing... Americans watching television across the country were puzzled earlier today when an alert from the White House interrupted their viewing, told them to stand by for an emergency message and warned them not to use their phones. TV channels automatically changed to local news stations but no White House message ever came, prompting confusion and concern, especially given heightened tensions amidst the Ebola crisis. The message was seen by viewers in Austin, Atlanta, Detroit and across North Carolina, as well as other areas of the country. WSOC-TV out of Charlotte, North Carolina later posted a statement on their website saying they would investigate why the message went out, indicating TV and radio stations were given no advance notice of the test. lf redflagnews/headlines/white-house-emergency-alert-interrupts-tv-viewers-across-america
