CNN Headline News

Friday · July 30, 2008, 12:23 PM NHFT

I've been in the habit of checking the front page of CNN for years, just to keep up with breaking U.S. news such as new wars starting, stock market crashes, etc. But I've been mind-boggled at the drop in content quality over the years. I'm dedicating this thread to...

As if drinking his blood and eating his body weren't
bad enough, now you have to get sticky orange stuff
all over your hand.

Of course, making it a headline would be illegal. I'm surprised having a story about it is legal!

wasn't it cnn headline news that accidentally reported a story from the onion?

and don't forget the bbc journalist that reported the collapse of wtc building 7 while standing in view of it 20+ minutes before it came down.

Today's headline: TOO LATE TO FLEE IKE

I'm really hoping some kamikaze CNN news reporter films the 22-foot waterwall headed for Galveston. I'm debating whether or not to buy popcorn.

I know I'm not the only one thinking this way. Each of my two favorite radio stations played "Higher Ground" today. That can't be just a coincidence...
