CNN... you
assholes...
Let's review now, for those of you who failed journalism school, which appears to consist of your ENTIRE staff of high school dropouts:
As a reporter (or news agency), it is your job to VERIFY THE FACTS BEFORE you report them.
It is NOT your job to scoop everyone and get a FALSE story out first.
It is ALSO not your job to spend the next 24 hours after a tragedy trying to COVER YOUR ASS BECAUSE YOU FUCKED UP!!!!
Un-fuck-ing-be-liev-a-ble. 12 miners dead, and all you are worried about is who to blame because YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR FUCKING JOB RIGHT.
It is January 4, 2006. The clear winner, already, of asshole of the year, is CNN.
Also, understatement of the century, a quote from Anderson Cooper, who sums up the collective intellect of CNN:
"I'm completely stunned"
Oh, yes. You are!
