CNN was caught flat footed earlier today. What did they do? They took something that they "heard" on a scanner and blew it into a full scale national scare on the anniversary of 9/11.
CNN ought to change its name to MMN for "manipulated and manufactured news." Because that is precisely what they were trying to do today. CNN took what they hoped would turn out to be some terrorist act and used it to terrify millions of Americans who believed what CNN was broadcasting as fact.
The only facts involved though, were that CNN had its facts wrong and never checked or verified what they were reporting before they aired it nation wide. It was just too damn juicy and inviting of a potential story for their little weasel minds to let be clouded by actual journalistic integrity or responsibility.
I stopped watching CNN years ago. Today just reinforced my reasons why.
