"Anthony Boudain: *Private* Parts Unknown" actually.

Other Boston area viewers thought it was the 'Yule Log' broadcast.

Accidentally? You can't "accidentally" do that unless you have the "feed" hooked up and hit the switch. I suspect the "board ops" watch that crap for entertainment during the work day. The "holiday help" is usually a low on the totem pole employee called to "cover" while the senior people get the day off. The "noob" hit the wrong buttons from inexperience.

[McGruff]

One way to get their ratings up.

Boston-area viewers thought they were tuning into “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” but instead they found hardcore porn was being broadcasted.

Well, now everybody knows.

[Navy Patriot]

Porn accidentally airs instead of CNN in Boston for 30 minutes

CNN has been porn for Marxists for decades.

[IamConservative]

Well, CNN is to news what porn is to *&^%ing..

Haha -somebody forgot to keep tabs on their HDMI interface! Wonder which higher-up's laptop it was?

The only time I ever know what's going on at CNN is when I read FR; keep hoping FReepers will stop giving it (and the WaPo, NYT, etc.) free publicity, as 99% of what gets stated is make-believe and unworthy of legitimizing by quoting, imo.

Normal programming on cnn is, like pornography, obscene in that it, too, is “utterly without redeeming social value.” (USSC Miller test)

[Redleg Duke]

Did anyone notice?

[Paradox]

“Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown”

Not anymore...

[Tamatoa]

They were looking at improving their ratings

[kevinm13]

CNN’s ratings are so low, how did anybody know about this?

[Hurricane Andrew]

This was a bogus report:

[TornadoAlley3]

Fake news, fake porn. All the same.

[RooRoobird20]

How could anyone tell LMAO?

[Rebel2016]

The Trump administration should slap a billion dollar fine on CNN for airing.

[Radix]

Somebody must have actually tuned in and saw it on the screen.

[Londo Molari]

That wasn’t porn, that was just CNN sucking up to Obama again!

[Sivad]

Would this be the same Boston that banned the Everly
Brother’s ‘Wake Up Little Susie”?

[MinuteGal]

"BANNED IN BOSTON"

From the late 19th century until the mid-20th century, the nation-wide popular phrase "Banned in Boston" applied to the elite Boston Brahmins and their captive city officials who during this time took it upon themselves to "ban" anything they found (books, plays, magazines, whatever) that they found to be salacious, immoral or offensive.

Today's Bostonites probably saw this CNN porn show, kicked off their shoes, opened a bag of icing-coated pretzels, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves for the half-hour show!

So CNN became worth watching for a few minutes?
