There is something about CNN and the people writing chyrons for the alleged "most trusted name in news" with the "best political team on television." Last week, these geniuses clarified the White House's position on President Barack Obama's religion.
However on CNN Aug. 28 coverage of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, which CNN reporters and anchors seemingly held their nose up and reported on throughout the event, the chyron on the screen was something likened to one of those parlor games where you circle the numerous errors involved.

That's usually how it goes in the television world.
somewhat off topic, but just went over to Google News.
On google news now, the top stories are:
1. Al Sharpton’s rally
2. the 5 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
3. Paris Hilton’s cocaine arrest
4. a story about a California prison riot
5. Muslim youth concerns about anti-Muslim sentiment
6. the Miller-Murkowski election in Alaska
There was nothing about Glenn Beck in the headlines. It seems odd, especially since the #1 story was Al Sharpton’s rally in Washington today. It seems odd that they didn’t mention that there was another big rally in Washington today.
They have their very own memory hole.
Maybe the glasses threw them off! LOL!
LOL. Perhaps!
CNN......= COMMIE NEWS NETWORK!!!
If cnn doesnt have the news they will make it up.
I ran the old Chyron MAX back in my studio production days and something like that would NEVER be tolerated.
I won’t use google - they’re too close w the Obambi admin; and, they give lots of $$s to dems (as I understand it, they get a lot of $s from people using/clicking on their site).
I use Bing and out of curiosity, I went to bing.com and clicked on News (left side). The top item on the news list was the Glen Beck rally:

I guess as long as it is someone speaking at a Tea Party event and spelled vaguely correctly it is OK. If they mixed up Sharpton and Jackson you can bet they would be on their knees begging for forgiveness.
Yeah I have some back ground in that very field as well and you're right it would not be put up with for a second.
Is there more than one site for Google News?
I just looked and Beck was listed first, and Sharpton is not listed at all.
On the other hand, the Mediacom home page news has seen fit to mention Beck... albeit in smaller type below the far more important story "Baby tiger found in bag at Thai airport."

Fortunately, nobody was watching.

CNN spent most of the day covering race-baiting fraud Sharpton and his 300 people. the rest of their coverage was about Katrina, as if it just happened.
