Atlanta, April 18, 2013 - A spokestalker from CNN let slip this morning that the Cable News Network would announce a name change, due to its mistaken, fact-free coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing on April 17. The network, carried into homes 24/7 via cable and satellite feeds, will be known as the Broken News Network (BNN), beginning shortly. The spokestalker said, "We've been breaking news for years now, and it's time we rebranded ourselves to reflect that."

1. And their new slogan should be

"Where breaking news stays broken".

3. meh, good one, but a better joke would have been...

they are now the "contrived news network", the cable TV station said, "while the name change would be revolutionary, keeping our original initials, however, saves us on the cost of having change our letter head."

11. Wonder why they didn't go with CBNN...

It bugged me when they changed Headline News to HLN. It was never Head Line News. I guess HN didn't have the same ring.

So Cable would be CB by their logic.

4. There is another word starting with 'B' I am thinking off that would be more appropriate

and ending with -hit....

5. Let's see Supreme court decision on Obama care, Stubenville rapist shill, Boston Marathon fiasco.

Hours upon hours of inane talking heads, FOX lite coverage, total abandonment of journalism. Never mind they gave Glen Beck a big start.

8. I always thought is had been the Corporate News Network, since Ted Turner had sold it years ago.

9. The chance for changing name is 50-50. Too close to call...n/t

10. Yabbut, that's based on the Rasmussen poll.

Gallup has it at 59-41 for the name change.
