CNN International Chyron: "Bush Resigns"

[stephanie]

Aaaa..CNN..That station of unbiased reporting...and employer of idiots..:poke:
Did Anyone Else See This?
Is this true? Does anyone have a screen grab? An e-mailer says:

"CNN International's CNN Today program, airing at midnight Eastern, led with the graphic 'Bush Resigns.' Of course, they meant 'Blair Resigns.' Freudian slip on the part of a network accused of anti-Americanism?"

-------------------------------------


Following up on this post, it did happen. Here's a screen grab from CNN International around midnight ET:

This appeared on screen for 12 seconds. (Two seconds before, President Bush had appeared on screen, but the chyron accurately said "Pressure over Iraq.")

I just checked on this. Sure enough, "Bush resigns" ran in the chyron at 12:01 a.m. EST. That was the only run and someone went back and covered their tracks. I got my boss to run the digital air-record for me and I saw it. After that we checked the actual font version. Seems someone went back and covered their tracks. It didn't run again. Either someone was playing a bad joke or those guys down in the cnni studio aren't getting enough coffee. As the board's resident media emissary, I apologize to all you guys. We'll try harder to match Faux News' standards. :rolleyes:

considering this was the 3rd 'mistake' anyone reasonable must assume that CNN is either trying to create a climate or is truly irresponsible. Either way, they have FOX beat by a marathon.
