FBI Launched Publicity Campaign to Find Fugitive, Tweeted News of His Arrest

Big news today about the FBI’s arrest of James “Whitey” Bulger, a fugitive on the organization’s most want list and on the lam for 16 years. Just as incredible as his story was the campaign to catch him.

The FBI did a PSA seeking information about Bulger’s companion Catherine Greig (you can check it out after the jump) that aired in 14 cities, issued a press release, and held a press conference about the case. Broadcast media scoffed.
