The AR-15 article I posted this morning had a different headline than what’s up there now; it was time-stamped at 3:29am; now it’s time-stamped at 8:59am, and CNN changed it.

I didn’t change the original headline I posted, or modify it.

I didn’t save the original article, but I simply cut & pasted the headline from CNN’s site at 5:14am. I had no idea that CNN would change it.

Had I known this would be an issue, I would have readily saved a copy to prove what was originally written.

In fact, the whole article has changed significantly, and is much larger/longer/different than it was at 5:14am, when I posted what was there.

Even the last line in the original article, which I “snipped” and pasted directly, is now gone.

It seems that since the news broke this morning, from the FBI, that an AR-15 wasn’t used in the Navy Yard shooting, CNN’s changed the article’s original anti-AR-15 slant.

I have been away since 8:45am this morning, and just getting back at 1:30pm to join the Rush thread, is when I learned of your admonishment to me, and that the original CNN article had be changed and re-time-stamped.

I’m not a writer or editor, so I don’t make things up.

I knew the rules here when I opened an account on 3/2/12, and would not abrogate them, and write headlines or body copy, on my own.

I’m sorry that this has caused problems on this FR thread. But CNN made the changes; I didn’t.

That seems more credible than c_h changing the original title. c_h is honest as the day is long, CNN isn't. What you have here is FR has yet again found bias in the media, AM you should delete your admonishment post and celebrate that fact IMHO.
