The MSM seem to make a *lot* of these harmless little mistakes with black Republicans.

After the commercial, did they run a CIA oriented story? Please answer, this could be big.
That's my guess.
LOL! I don't believe this for a minute. Not even CNN would do something as racist as this.

Good catch tho...I won't know what they were talkin' bout unless someone here tells me.....I have no "TV"

That IS SOOOOO FUNNY!!!
They meant CIA agents and you took it to mean black people.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
OMG! My side are hurting!! That is SOOOOOO funny!
And it happened to al-Jazeera West.
Humor is getting funnier since nov 3!!!
Top leaders of CIA's clandestine service resign ?
PS-Anyone else see the little redirect when you go to CNN.com? I saw a mostly blank/white page with the text "Hello, World. Nothing to see here...move along" load for like a second before redirecting to CNN.com.
Seriously. I clicked on the CNN.com link from a Yahoo keyword search result page.
Weird.
PPS-I was able to time a screen capture just right. The URL is http://victory.cnn.com. Guess the URL that shows up in Yahoo's search is a bad link and the page I saw is just an auto redirect to whatever is currently the index.html page.
1. Informal A ghost; a specter.
2. Slang A secret agent; a spy.
3. Offensive Slang Used as a disparaging term for a Black person.
A vewwy inopportune co-inky-dink juxtaposition. Chalk it up to fate, albeit well-deserved.
so the CNN headline was likely referring to the turmoil within the CIA.
That's my guess.
Someone at least coordinated the snafu. I don't see it as an accident. Fox would be crucified. (if it is more than rumor) I'll bet Brent Bozell has it taped.
I just thought it was outrageous, and when I wrote the 3 E-mails to CNN, I ASKED the question of what exactly did they mean by thouse words on the bottom scroll. I don't expect to get an answer from them, but I do wish others might call or write them also and ask. And I repeat, it has nothing to do with the CIA and spooks.
I agree.
I'm from Baltimore "Spook" is definitely a derogatory term.
I grew up in Arkansas, Mississippi and South Carolina in the 1960's and 70's, every time I heard the term it was because the white person speaking it didn't want to say n*&&*r. But it still came across as just as derogatory.
Middie, I do have a handle on life. I'm a white 56 year old mother of a 13 year old who I would slap in the mouth is he ever said the word Nig... or Spook unless he was talking about something on Halloween.

No, and don't bother me about wasting my time composing an e-mail that I know will just get trashed once it reaches the CNN mailbox. If you want to waste your precious time over nothing, fine, knock yourself out.
Got a screen grab? This could be good for a few belly laughs at CNN's expense...
If they are indeed talking about Powell and Rice, neither of which are spies, then someone's head needs to roll at CNN.

Link to Media Research Center... Brent Bozell might have something.
