CNN is apparently witless.

What else do you expect from the Clinton News Network?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

nah, there’s no media bias..

[oakcon]

Well, it’s questionably worded, but in all fairness they could be referring to the insanity of the times, and as long as they published the whole joke, its pretty funny.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

This kind of tweaking is done constantly...and is rarely exposed.

CNN is despicable as always. And WingNutDaily’s use of “some believe” is an editorializing cop-out. Either name your source or don’t use it.

if they add reagan’s “wit” to their own “nit”, then what do you get? CNN! (nitwit)

From the same CNN that gave you the series: “A Broken Government” that ran weeks before the 2006 elections when Congress was up for grabs.

CNN is blatant in their Marxism.

What "insanity of the times"? BTW, Reagan was quoting Sam Levenson.

[Vigilanteman]

Well, by Communist News Network standards, he was insane. He didn't want to live in a socialist worker's utopia and his policies helped hasten the demise of CNN's model utopia where dissenters could be put in asylums for daring to oppose their socialist overlords.

God give us more such insanity!

I believe CNN overall has a definite liberal bias. However, in this instance I believe the headline was referring to what Reagan said about insanity being hereditary. I believe some of the WND readers took CNN’s headline out of context.

...and we used to laugh at Pravda.

If you have ever had children, you will not have a problem understanding exactly what President Reagan was saying.

[GOP_Proud]

I’ve seen that on a million t-shirts. Geesh.

[Diogenesis]

[preacher]

“some believe” or “some say”

Katy Couric’s is favorite cop out for her opinioned questions.

[GoldenPup]

In the article, Reagan was quoted as writing in his diary that there’s a new kind of insanity going asround...you catch it from your kids. This comment was after a row with two of his. The whole BS has been blown way out of proportion. If anyone bothered to read the article, it was easy to see where the article’s title came from. Dumb reaction to a harmless title by the uninformed.

[gcruse]

That’s true. “Some say” means what follows is part of my agenda.
