CNN International Chyron: "Bush Resigns"
Media Bistro ^

Posted on 05/11/2007 12:17:00 PM PDT by Republican Red

Following up on this post:

"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?"

...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.")

Maybe it was one of those “practice runs”. Didn’t ABC come out with a “Reagan Dead” banner long before he had died and they claimed it was a practice run?

The slip was, it got posted on the air. The people making the banner’s routinely post such crap - every once and a while it goes on air ...

I have a screen shot of the CNN website when they named a photo of GWB something like @$$hole (spelled out, of course), but I don’t have it on this computer. I’ll have to post it later.

Remember the “X” over Cheney...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10177072/

The glitch was said to be accidental but a telephone operator’s defense of it was not:

>>”We did it just to make a point. Tell them to stop lying, Bush and Cheney,” the CNN operator said to Preska Thomas, co-founder of the marketing firm Team Hollywood. “Bring our soldiers home.”

>>”Was it not freedom of speech? Yes or no?” the CNN operator explained. “If you don’t like it, don’t watch. ... Tell your president to stop lying.”

He was fired.

CNN has low actual ratings but they have an insidious/devious way of getting into the public eye and forums. Here are some most important ways:

through publishers academic materials:
CD’s, book references, vid links, ad nauseum
movies
other published materials such as literary work, compilations, etc.

Only at the airport.

Yes at the airport (I do not), but as I said in my post its influence is pernicious and belies its ratings.

Idiots! One can just imagine the cheering which erupted when the antis read that.

On another note, I read an article by a young lady writing about the shooting on the Chicago Metro bus, and it was full of errors in tense and syntax. What do they teach you in journo classes these days besides anti-Americanism?

CNN is supposed to act like a news channel not like a pre-kindergarden. But, really, childishness and stupidity is all you can expect from Leftist organizations.

Maybe they were referring to Reggie Bush resigning with the Saints.

You forgot to mention holding us hostage at the terminal gates in the airport.

Bush resigning would be the beginning of the left’s worst nightmare.

On most cruise ships CNN International is the only source of news. It’s not just the obvious bias...it’s just plain irritating to watch!

However, didn’t they mistake Barack Obama for OBL some weeks ago? Must be a crack editing staff at CNN that is for sure, either that or some really cynical political activists.

The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.

On one side, we have the US Military and Iraqi and Afghans fighting for freedom. On the other, we have Al Qaeda, the Democratic Party, and the Mainstream Media. Only one of those enemies actually carries guns, because guns are verbotten by the other two.
