CNN just caught with its' pants down! (Must read!)

Me

[God luvs America]

I was sitting here watching CNN as they are covering the California wildfires. They were doing an interview with an actor about his role in a movie about a fraudulent reporter for the magazine "The New Republic". CNN cuts off the middle of this interview and breaks to a phone call with the "mayor of San Diego" who reportedly has news about three arrests in connection with the fires. They put this guy on the radio and he states that, "three arrests were made in connection with the fires. He cannot release the names of the people but can confirm the fires started with "wind coming out of the ass of Howard Stern." The CNN host (Darian Kagan), was furious, the network quickly goes to break and Kagan is still flustered.

[Arkie2]

hilarious! Thanks.

[Paul C. Jesup]

ROTFL!!!!

[TomServo]

Sometimes Stern's crap ain't funny.

[JustAnAmerican]

LOL,CNN is the Enquirer of Cable News.

[Sgt_Schultze]

A Ba-Ba-Booie Bump!

[God luvs America]

I agree...but I was laughing at the idiocy of CNN.

[farmfriend]

Hahahhaaha. Couldn't happen to a nicer station.

[yonif]

ROFL. Anyone got a recording?

[Tijeras_Slim]

If the caller had said it was Bush's fault, CNN would have kept them on the line for hours.

[firewalk]

lol!

[Huck]

phah pha phooey!

[hchutch]

CNN got Sterned again!

[Huck]

ta-ta-toothy

[McGruff]

Notice how they never say this anymore:

We're watching you, CNN!

[eddie willers]

Sometimes Stern's crap ain't funny.

Agreed.
These "bababooy" hoaxes during breaking news are sick.

I remember they even did one during the Columbine incident.

If Stern isn't sick....his listeners are.

[tdadams]

These Stern fans are such idiots. They pull that crap every time there's breaking news. What kind of no-life losers are these people to think such stupid pranks are humorous? Thirteen people dead... "Cool, let's make jokes about it."

[Calvin Locke]

A Sternophile nailed Dan Blather live a couple of years ago.

Then there was the guy claiming to be stuck in the WTC back in '93.

[Delphinium]

So funny.

[E Rocc]

A Captain Jenx strikes again:

[Crowcreek]

Fanned by the Santa CNN'a winds . . .

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO! ping!

[God luvs America]

I just wish it were blitzer on the tube

[Revolting cat!]

Down pants!

[1rudeboy]

Look on the bright side: (maybe) eventually the 24hr news-networks will try to get their own stories, instead of sitting-around and waiting for something to fall into their lap.

[Poohbah]

These Stern fans are such idiots. They pull that crap every time there's breaking news.

Who's the bigger idiot: the Howard Stern fans who always do this, or the networks who always fall for it?

[Sunshine Sister]

LoL. What a hoot! Couldn't happen to nicer people!

[spiffy]

mmmmm... Darian Kagen...

[dead]

Thanks for the ping!

I like the people who get all angry "somebody's dead! it's not funny to make a joke!"

I don't know, but when I die, I hope somebody can find a way to use my death as a way of infuriating Dan Rather or CNN.

It will add a nice touching coda to my life.

[mewzilla]

..."wind coming out of the ass of Howard Stern."

Tsk, tsk, tsk...If there's one thing the Clymer news Network should be expert on it's the subject of a$$es.

[eddie willers]

Who's the bigger idiot: the Howard Stern fans who always do this, or the networks who always fall for it?

That one's easy....the Howard Stern fans.

[hunyb]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[E Rocc]

GMTA....LOL

[Recovering_Democrat]

What did Darian say??!??

[Huck]

I don't know, but when I die, I hope somebody can find a way to use my death as a way of infuriating Dan Rather or CNN.

LOL. Why the hell not? You'll be gone already anyway.

[Recovering_Democrat]

If the caller had said it was Bush's fault, CNN would have kept them on the line for hours.

Oh, Gawd. You got that right. I'm waiting for a Democrat Party Operative to begin blaming the fires on the Interior Department.

[ladyinred]

OMG! I am laughing so hard I am shaking the computer like a California earthquake! :-D

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...During TV Coverage of California's Fires a CNN Anchor just went to a field reporter...

.."in a place called DEVORE"

The nerve.

[Ichneumon]

These Stern fans are such idiots. They pull that crap every time there's breaking news. What kind of no-life losers are these people to think such stupid pranks are humorous? Thirteen people dead... "Cool, let's make jokes about it."

I don't think they *are* making jokes about it.

Instead, the "joke" is CNN, and Stern's fans are making that obvious.

I see it as the Stern version of Freeping someone -- taking action to make their incompetence/corruption/etc. obvious to all.

In these cases, they're pointing out to the audience how just about any idiot can get CNN, etc. to put them on the air as an "authority". It's their way of saying, "don't believe everything you hear, the media 'experts' may not know their butts from a hole in the ground, or may even be a fraud with an agenda, and the news media are too sloppy/lazy to verify anything about the 'officials' they rely on for 'news'."

[Recovering_Democrat]

Look on the bright side: (maybe) eventually the 24hr news-networks will try to get their own stories, instead of sitting-around and waiting for something to fall into their lap.

Not a chance. They rotate young kids in and out of those places so fast--they're lazy, essentially. (Why do you think most of them never dig deep to find the truth about almost anything political??)

[hchutch]

The reason the Stern fans do it is because the networks put `em on the air!

They strike me as a lot more intelligent than the average reporter.

[God luvs America]

She said its' sad that people make light of a tragedy in the name of Howard Stern (which I agree with) but she was flustered. After the break she came back and assured everyone that the person they had on earlier in person was in fact the mayor of San Diego.

[Prodigal Son]

Somebody got Peter Jennings during the "OJ Standoff" as well. The caller pretended to be a black person who relied heavily upon ebonics as a linguistic guide. Jennings bought it hook line and sinker.

[sean327]

I can't stand Howard Stern either, and 90% of his fans are morons also, but you have to look at how long these ba-ba-booie pranks have been going on and see that the news clowns are just as stupid for continuosly falling for them. A wise man once said: "Stupid is as stupid does."

[billhilly]

"CNN just caught with its' pants down! (Must read!)
Me"

Is it a boy or a girl?

[al baby]

some how bequeth a roll of nickels to him

[Poohbah]

Somebody got Peter Jennings during the "OJ Standoff" as well. The caller pretended to be a black person who relied heavily upon ebonics as a linguistic guide. Jennings bought it hook line and sinker.

And I'll bet that Peter Jennings would deny that he's a racist to his dying breath...

[hchutch]

Agreed. I think that deep down, Howard Stern is withg us far more than he is against us. Too bad the "culture warriors" seem determined to drive him away.

[Huck]

[Qwinn]

Extremely difficult to tell, so my guess would be it's a feminist.
