CNN Just Revealed It Was a B-52 That Dropped A bomb on Nagasaki in 1945!

CNN at aprox. 9:20 PM, CDST

By accident, I stopped on CNN just as they were doing a story on the anniversary of the successful peace action at Nagasaki in 1945. They showed some older Japanese people as the female announcer, in a voice deep and wet with concern, told about today's moment of silence at 11:02 in commeration of the time in 1945 when "a B-52 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki."

On the "news" side of CNN, they should run this tape every 30 minutes or so. It is well worth the effort to catch it to see an example of the left wing media being far more concerned with the revisionist emotional picture they can present for today's lefties than they are about basic factual accuracy. Maybe some of the failed NYT folks have moved to CNN.

Everybody knows it was really an F-117.

[glasseye]

Boy...that B-52 must be one FAST plane....hehehehe

Wasn't Hiroshima the first time depleted uranium was used as a weapon?

(steely)

[Ford Fairlane]

I thought it was a B58...LOL

Time warp. It's like when Captain Kirk and the crew of NCC-1701 were shot around the sun and went back in time to 1967 and met Gary 7.

Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times CNN Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

cnn lo

I think she's trying to burnish her resume to get a job at the NYT.

That is like saying the Space Shuttle put men on the moon. I have seen glaring inaccuracies in the media, but they don't care. A Story is more than just facts to the left-wing media.

[Jokelahoma]

This just shows how good our military was, and is. They can fly planes 9-10 years before those planes even go into service! Of course, it also shows that details and facts are not the strong point of leftists, but I think we already knew that.

[JimVT]

It's a wonder they didn't castigate the pilot. George Bush!

[duk]

I thought it was the Martian with his PU36 HIGH EXPLOSIVE SPACE MODULATOR, and an earth shattering KA BOOOOM.

[Bobsat]

CNN's never been shy about making up "facts" to fit their version of the story....

[Snake65]

Which bomb got dropped on Nagasaki, anyway? Was it "Person of Size, Self-Identified as of the Masculine Gender" or "Stature Challenged Pre-adult Male"? I can never remember.

[Ford Fairlane]

Wasn't Hiroshima the first time depleted uranium was used as a weapon?

Thats another thing that pisses me off about the liberal media - IT"S DEPLETED FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!!!!

I've handled it, I'm still alive, & I'm still firing on both nuts, so what the heck is it supposed to do to you???

[mhking]

Figures. But who cares about facts when you can make them up as you go on?

[/sarcasm]

[martin_fierro]

Another example of CNN brilliance

[FlyVet]

LOL wouldn't surprise me. As G. Gordon Liddy would say, "They don't even know which end of the gun the round comes out of!"

The only thing worse than CNN I've ever seen is ABC World News Tonight. Cheesy. The local newscasters are better, and that ain't saying much.

[Alouette]

"a B-52 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki."

Did they mention the pilot was an Israeli Air Force officer?

[Eala]

Of course, it also shows that details and facts are not the strong point of leftists

Never stops them from forcing policies on us based on their "facts," though.
