CNN Screws Up

Pardon the technical jargon, but CNN screwed up, this morning. They reported that the U.S.Coast Guard fired 10 rounds at a suspicious watercraft on the Potomac River, in Washington D.C. this morning. CNN went full tilt, with live video of this breaking news story! Where did they get their information? In the news business, it's good to be the first to report a story. It's better to be accurate! (You may quote me.)



The U.S. Coast Guard says that they were conducting a training exercise. Responsible journalism at its best! We pay money to watch CNN. Shouldn't they do a better job?

Peter Zenger would have been so proud!
