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."

Although its a seemingly harmless mistake, its such an obvious error that it makes a person wonder what other mistakes and half-truths exist in the media. Of course, it is CNN...

9:20 PM, CDST

I see you got the time covered regardless if we are on daylight savings time (CDT) or standard time (CST).

You do know, though, that there is a difference between the two, don't you. While most of the central time zone is currently on CDT, some Indiana counties don't observe daylight savings time. Those counties are on CST all year.

So which is it?

And yet more CNN brilliance

[Rome2000]

It was an F-22 with an "assault rifle" attachment.

[SAMWolf]

BS! I know it was an F-117 that went through a time warp and was stolen by the Nazis! They did it to make us look bad.

The B-52A first flew in 1954, and the B model entered service in 1955. A total of 744 B-52s were built with the last, a B-52H, delivered in October 1962.

But then, leave it to CNN to screw it up.

[Eala]

Wow! Nearly 18 times the speed of light!! LOL... (dimwits)

[TomGuy]

FoxNews just reported that it was a B-29.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Obviously got confused by Dr. Strangelove.

[Ford Fairlane]

More like 20 years in this case

Of course the B58 went fast enough it could have caused a time warp - after all, Jimmy Stewart (as a Brig. Gen) was even checked out in one

[Focault's Pendulum]

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

You fool! You're in violation of the confidentiality agreement.

You have put us all in danger.

Uh...all you Barsoom people...we can contain this....I think.

[South40]

And they look so innocent.

[Eala]

LOL again! (Or hovering somewhere in-between?)

[stboz]

They're using Million-Man Math...5+2 = 7 and 9-2 = 7. If it works for Calypso Louie, it'll work for CNN.

[rabidralph]

Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson are awesome pilots. What do you expect?

[F.J. Mitchell]

We had B-52's in 1945? That was the best kept secret of WWII.

[StatesEnemy]

today's moment of silence at 11:02

I hope they thought REALLY HARD on the atrocities committed throughout the South Pacific in the name of the Emperor.

[ConservativeLawyer]

Was it "Person of Size, Self-Identified as of the Masculine Gender" or "Stature Challenged Pre-adult Male"?

Funny!

[SAMWolf]

Bye-bye Nagasaki!

[Mr. Mojo]

B-52, B-29, B-17, B-2, B-1 .....The libs at CNN not only don't know the difference, but they don't want to know the difference. To them it's all the same --- big bad planes flown by mean people who get pleasure out of bombing the little brown peoples of the world.
