Malaysia Airlines search zeroing in after latest pings 
Thursday, Apr 10, 2014 07:35 PM PDT
Gunner Brown of Transit Security Element looks through binoculars as he stands on lookout with other crew members aboard Australian Navy ship HMAS Perth as they continue to search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370By Matt Siegel and Swati Pandey SYDNEY/PERTH, Australia (Reuters) - The international effort to find a missing Malaysian jetliner was zeroing on a small patch of the Indian Ocean on Friday that officials now believe offers the best hope of solving the mystery of Flight MH370. The Australian agency overseeing the search said it would use some of the most sophisticated resources at its disposal on the small search area after a new acoustic signal, that could be from the plane's black box recorders, was detected on Thursday. The latest signal, which was captured by a listening device buoy, seems to lend credence to four previous "pings" detected by a U.S. Navy "Towed Pinger Locator" (TPL) towed by Australia's Ocean Shield vessel. "The acoustic data will require further analysis overnight but shows potential of being from a man-made source," Angus Houston, head of the Australian agency co-ordinating the search, said in a statement.

But the question now is: Will his core fans – passionate members of the Colbert nation, a cohort that skews younger than the 50-year-old Colbert and one that CBS dearly wants to woo – be as eager to find out as well? "CBS is taking an incredible risk," says Paul Levinson, a professor at Fordham University in New York and author of "New New Media." "The only reason Colbert is successful and people love him is because they love the satirical character he plays on Comedy Central."
