CNN has issued an apology for playing a song titled “Stupid Girls” before a segment about Sarah Palin.

“The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story. We regret any perception that they were planned together,” a CNN spokesperson told the blog site Mediate.

The song by Pink was the lead-in to a story about the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate supporting Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy, who is facing public backlash for opposing same-sex marriage.

They are indeed nutso.

These networks know that once the deed is done , it's done and cannot be changed. The initial first impression viewers got is what will remain with them. They do this deliberately and intentionally. No apology can erase the damage they intend on the victims

B.S., CNN. B.S.

CNN will get right on Firing the unnamed hapless intern who made that mistake, sure, any minute now....

[Obadiah]

I’m sure it’s all just coincidence that this kind off stuff never happens to a Liberal, right?

[SoFloFreeper]

What “public backlash” against Chick-Fil-A? Ever since the sodomites began screaming, the chain has been doing gangbusters business.

NOW Feminazis are missing in action, as usual. The Left’s misogynist war on women continues.

Since this was an "accident", I'm sure a random X has appeared on the screen accidently other times, right?

Or have they "fixed" their software so that large black Xs can never appear over the image on the screen again?

Time-Lies. Boycott Time-Warner and their advertisers.

Hey CNN Prestitutes!

I’m sorry that I’ve chosen as your theme song the tune “Dirty Laundry”.

That song’s title and the fact that you are a bunch of dirtbags is merely coincidental.

Hey, for no particular reason, I thought I’d post this:

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don”t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the murder with a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet

Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pies
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

—Don Henley and Danny Kortchmar, except for one word by me. (Nancy Grace doesn’t normally do plane crashes.)

Two great guitar solos on that song by Joe Walsh and Steve Lukather.

[Magic Fingers]

‘“Apologies” are a dime a dozen these days. People are apologizing for apologizing. Everybody is doing it. Apologies are just meaningless drivel. Kind of like playing the race card.’

The Flap-Eared Communist has beaten both those drums so often that they’re meaningless.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Jim Walton wasn’t gay enough for CNN, so he resigned... Anderson Cooper is too gay to go to the Middle East again...

The chicken hawks at CNN would have us believe that selling chicken sandwiches has something to do with sodomy, maybe they could give us an exclusive interview with the Muppets and Jerry Sandusky about the halal chili dog they have between their buns?

In the game of political correctness, what are the trump cards?

What does happen when perversity and diversity clash?

Do they ‘spread the other cheek’ for their new Islamic masters?

[VideoDoctor]

This is exactly WHY they are dead last in the ratings.

They're NOT a journalistic News Network.

They're nothing more than LOW RENT provocateurs.

[Bringbackthedraft]

I believe they mean it, after all they are “The Most Trusted Name in News”. s/ Ridicule is all the left has, and that’s what they are all about.

Re: Stupid Girl by Garbage

Yeah, pretty good song. Rush Limbaugh used it a lot for bumper music when it came out in 1996.

Here it is, live (infectious beat in the intro and chorus). . .
