    CNN Pulls a FOX, offers apology

    January 2, 2007

    From rawstory.com

    A Monday night broadcast of CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer confused America's "number one enemy" with one of America's most popular senators, RAW STORY has learned. CNN apologized for the error, which came after a series of incidents in recent months in which Illinois Democrat Senator Barack Obama was subtly or directly linked with militant Islamic personalities who have been hostile to the United States.

    During a January 1st broadcast of Wolf Blitzer's nightly news program, a pre-commercial preview of the show's next segment included a story on the hunt for Al Qaeda's leadership. Over a photo of Osama Bin Laden and his second-in-command Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Blitzer stated, according to the transcript, "Plus, a new year, but the same mission. Will 2007 bring any new changes in the hunt for Osama bin Laden?"

              How about here?




              This is as bad or worse as when FAUX tried to pass Mark Pedopholey off as a "Democrat". And just as deliberate.

                              Ha ha. If you read the text you quoted, there's nothing wrong with it. The first paragraph mentions Obama, but doesn't explain what happened. In the second paragraph, Obama isn't even mentioned.

                              Does Ted Turner still own CNN?

                                  I thought I fixed it by editing in the pic.

                                  Didn't work.

                                      Nope. That's why it went to Hell in a handbasket and is now FAUX II.

                                                  I would vote for Barack Obama if he ran but there is a problem. I keep thinking his name is Osama.
