CNN is not the left. They barely qualify as a news network. They are an idiot's version of the BBC.

They should stick to reading Twitter feeds and making MH370 infographics.

What you said about the BBC is totally untrue. Its a very good news network.

What happened in this instance (as explained in the OP link) is an example of the CNN not being a lefty network - when its employee thought that playing a snippet of the national anthem (vs the full version) would be against regulations. But why has nearly everyone in thread think that that mistake was an example of being 'communist'?

So I guess someone followed the instruction to the letter, but wasn't good at communicating the reason.

"Due to time constraints caused by the need to give our advertisers more airtime and to air more inane things that bring in viewers, the following segment contains only an excerpt of the complete national anthem."

:hmm:
Or maybe that would be too much information.

Wow just wow..

That is EXACTLY the reason. Jeez if they didn't have that wackos would complain why it was only played as an excerpt and that was un american LOL.

Rage on rage on... Man please wait a sec before you post, do some research.
 
The warning was the result of a mistake by an employee, a CNN spokesman told The Daily Caller. It stemmed from the employee’s unfortunate interpretation of a company policy which, respectfully, only allows “The Star-Spangled Banner” to be played in its glorious entirety.

Thus, the warning wasn’t about the substance of the national anthem. It was about the fact that the video contained only part of the song.

This thread is stupid.

You're all stupid.
 
cnn viewership is lower then snail snot. that's why they have to come up with this chite in the fan action lines and sound bites. They would be better off running infomercials for diet pills..they might get a few people to watch.

So you are saying if they were more popular they wouldn't have had to put up a warning to folks that they were only going to play part of the National Anthem?
 
None of the reactions from the righties surprise me.

Due to their brain defect, this error has been deemed as an assault - and is being treated as such.

Alarms have been raised. People are claiming they are being victimized. Lots of sensationalism. Nothing new here.

So we are now making up what he said and calling him wrong on it? I guess you will win arguments all day long like that.

Or you could accept the fact that we point and laugh. No need to go all moonbeam/nut-bag on us and think the only reason someone could have a differing from yours is because of a defective mind.

Thank you for sharing your feelings on what you just know I was feeling. LOL! I get such a kick out of this place. Every thread here is a social experiment that keeps repeating itself over and over.

They don't even need a second person to have an argument. We can just sit back, point and laugh at them, or as they call it, rage.
