I might be blowing this out of proportion, but by looking at CNN.com website they're totally leading you to believe that terrorists smugled nukes into us. Only after you read the subprint does it mention that those were government employees conducting a test.

I don't know if it's just me, but for some reason that got me really worked up.

I just saw that and thought it was pretty ridiculous. Plus that graphic is just plain retarded.

QFT. I don't even look at US news sites, unless someone links them on this forum.

CNN is now down to over-hyped sensionalist crap.

Time, which used to be a respected maganine, is going the way of the Enquirer as well...

Vote for Reuters!


Also, I like Fox News. It has all my favorite anchors. Bill O'Reilly, Sheppard Smith, Sean Hannity (kinda).


Also, I love how there is a Fox News Alert after every break.

Heh, at first, I was going to say "now what trivial thing is someone blowing out of proportion?" then I saw that graphic. Seriously, that's just asinine.

Agreed. Barely above the enquirer.

Wonder who has more circulation is the scary part.
