Dimwits!
Well at least it was a female impersonator. Being CNN, it could have been otherwise.
Not a good choice of a picture anyway, but it must be very cool for the impersonator and his scrapbook.
The mistrusted news on cable................
That’s obviously not Dolly.
The head looks more like the late Loni Anderson (WKRP).
Think of it this way, at least the impersonator used is a real Woman!
The front page picture in the New York Times didn’t look much like her either.
““Somebody at CNN really messed up and didn’t do their research,” she said”
Vohnn plays “pretend to be Dolly” for a career and expects everyone to automatically know?
Doesn’t even consider she created confusion by being having picture taken while playing dress up?
Well its CNN after all, only brain dead morons watch it I doubt they noticed the difference
I think she’d get a kick out of that.

How does a former attorney eff that up?
I know she likely didn’t create the vid, but it was her mug on the screen reporting on it.
Didn’t Dolly enter a Dolly look-a-like contest and lose? Of course she had a good laugh about it.
“CNN uses pic of Dolly Parton Vegas impersonator during tribute, apologizes to icon’s family for blunder”
If CNN was a legitimate news organization, stupidity like that would be concerning, but since they’re not, “mistakes” like that are irrelevant ...
It was not a blunder. They did it full well knowing it was going up on the screen. The hate mail and official apology were also planned and expected.
CNN is the most incompetent news organization on the planet!
