    Fox News can't have a monopoly on stupid in broadcast news it seems.

    This is honestly very, very shoddy journalism. You would think this would have went through at least a round of fact check before being aired.

    Seems par for the course. Though not as rabid as Fox, CNN strikes me as little more than sensationalist fear-mongering; there seems to be this air of constant panic and exaggerated self-importance. I'm always amazed that it manages to pass as well as it does as a (somewhat) 'credible' news source.

    That is hilarious. I'm surprised it wasn't Fox News to make that mistake first.
