CNN... Did anyone notice the CNN scroll tonight around 6:30.?

Last edited Tue Apr 16, 2013, 03:20 AM - Edit history (1)

Authorities searching for man of darker color with a foreign accent. He tried to cross into an unauthorized zone and was stopped, walked away pulling his hood up over his head. Not the exact script, but it’s close.

How hard do you think Cnn vetted this before it aired?

Am I fucking insane to think MSM will be disappointed if this is not a terrorist action?

is like 1/4 of everyone I know! That scrawl on CNN would irk me too. Good catch! The sooner they find out who did this, the better. And please let them be apprehended quickly and not a foreign national of a country on America's Shit List (aka Axis of Evil). Please don't let us start another war because of it.

In that case CNN would be eating some major crow. I hope someone somewhere got a screenshot of that just in case it proves to be domestic terrorism. CNN should have their feet held to the fire for this if so.

Because two explosions packed to do vicious damage don't scream "pacifist" to me. Or "accident."

April is when American whatever-the-fuck-you-want-to-call-them make their bones with our bones. It's April.

That's some serious profiling CNN's done.
Could have been a pissed-off former hotel employee. Or street worker. Or coulda just been your garden variety nut. That doesn't give ANY news network carte blanche to jump to a conclusion about the race, ethnicity, background or motive of whoever did it.

Affiliate station say the pressure cookers were a signature al kaida style of attack. I think that is leading and misleading. BS.
