“The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story. We regret any perception that they were planned together,” a CNN spokesperson told the blog site Mediate.

SUUUUUURE it wasn't planned!

[Old Sarge]

CNNObama is only sorry they got called out for it.

“Apologies” are a dime a dozen these days. People are apologizing for apologizing. Everybody is doing it. Apologies are just meaningless drivel. Kind of like playing the race card.

Their apologies would be a little more believable if a)the violations were not all slanted the same way, and b) they'd just stop LYING about what they did.

My ass they are sorry..and what the heck is a CNN..never heard of it..isnt it that network that gets 2 viewers

[Timber Rattler]

Liars.

If I didn’t read it here, I wouldn’t know about it. I haven’t watched CNN for a decade, not since their disgusting and hysterical coverage of Israel’s 2006 Lebanon War. That was the last straw for me.

I like the version by Garbage better.
It’s still all kinds of wrong for CNN to try to pull a stunt like that. This is why the news media is dead to me, except as fodder for ridicule.

[hollywood]

I missed CNN’s on-air apology. Anyone catch it? /sarc

[Huskrrrr]

So glad they brought back Fox News at my local Golds Gym treadmill room.

“The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story...

They are sorry?

Not really.

...We regret any perception that they were planned together,”

Yeah. That's the ticket. Blame the listeners.

[Mr. K]

Baloney! this is not the first time they have been caught doing this

[ConradofMontferrat]

I hope they keep pulling juvenile stunts like this. They think they are so “cool” and “slick” and probably snicker about how sharp and “intelligent” their little gimmicks are.

Every time they pull this kind of childish stuff they lose 10 more viewers.

And at their level of viewership, that’s a hemorrhage.

At this rate, by this time next year, they will be nothing but a memory, and a bad one at that.

[Gaffer]

I always thought that some real American would track down the little shit that thought this stunt was so cute and beat the holy hell out of him or her.

[aquila48]

“...We regret any perception that they were planned together”

In other words they regret that YOU thought they were planned together. They’re apologizing for YOUR stupidity.

[silverleaf]

a fake apology AND a big lie (no link between our music lead in and the story.....wink wink)

how much more despicable can this former news organization act?

[lucky american]

These networks know that once the deed is done , it's done and cannot be changed. The initial first impression viewers got is what will remain with them. They do this deliberately and intentionally. No apology can erase the damage they intend on the victims

[Student0165]

B.S., CNN. B.S.

[GraceG]

CNN will get right on Firing the unnamed hapless intern who made that mistake, sure, any minute now....

[Obadiah]

I’m sure it’s all just coincidence that this kind off stuff never happens to a Liberal, right?
