“CNN, that eternal paragon of unbiased news..” that was busted some time ago for having psyops professionals involved in the news broadcasts, is still a den of douchebags.

CNN: The Costa Concordia of dying broadcasters. PMSNBC is the Titanic as they sank out of sight years ago!

The very same.

Can you imagine if Fox was hosting games on its news site ? Oh jokes that would emerge.

When, to bolster sagging ratings, your plan is to bring in (back) annoying moron retreads like Ashleigh Banfield and Chris Cuomo, you’re just circling the drain.

Even the liberal public TV network I was at years ago would have fired any graphics person who did something that dumb.

Odds are the operator at CNN is gone. Oh well.
