London's Daily Mail reported ABC News bungled in its pro-Biden bias over the weekend, claiming they were celebrating Biden's apparent victory with fireworks:
"Fireworks lit up the night sky over London, England, after Joe Biden was characterized to be the apparent winner of the presidential election," the supposedly worldly network wrote on social media in a since-deleted Tweet.
ABC wasn't alone. On Saturday night, CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny was enchanted as well: "We heard church bells in Paris, fireworks in London. This is indeed a moment the world is watching!"
As the Daily Mail reported on ABC:
Brits were quick to correct the broadcaster on their mistake, and pointed out that the fireworks were part of the annual Bonfire Night celebrations.
One social media user reacted with glee, saying: 'Shall we tell them? I wanna tell them!' while another branded the TV network 'morons'.
The glee came from Daniel Hannan, a former Conservative member of Parliament:

Remember, remember the fifth of November...
Its the fact that simple minded creeps are in front of the cameras all claiming to be important.
BTW, it is amazing that the Brits have this
“Holiday” because if they were able to set off that gun powder under there, it would have been one hell of a fireworks show.
Wonder how many locked up and abused Brits now wish Guy Fawkes had succeeded...
They are correct in that those celebrating Biden’s “win” are indeed, morons.
Pointed out that the fireworks were part of the annual Bonfire Night celebrations.
Media still playing 3 card Monte with facts.
ABC is Disney
CNN is ATT
NBC, MSNBC are Comcast
They employ dishonest idiots to piss on America.
I saw the newsfeeds littered with these kinds of stories.
I actually laughed by myself at this. LOL
Consider said expectations fulfilled. The MSM is full of morons.
If the American media wants to draw a parallel between Joe Biden and Guy Fawkes...
Wonder how many...
From my experience, about have of the British Isles see Fawkes as a folk hero.
On Saturday night, CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny was enchanted as well: “We heard church bells in Paris, fireworks in London. This is indeed a moment the world is watching!”
That’s an inside joke. Zeleny infamously asked Obama what “enchanted” him most about living in the White Hut.
Probably not a mistake.
Probably intentional misrepresentation.
My great niece’s birthday is on Nov 5th. Her uncle only remembers it by “Remember, remember the 5th of November” and taught it to her. So the child who turned 7 went around for weeks chanting “Remember, remember my birthdays November”.
BTW, Liberals are such morons.
Were Lemon and Van Jones crying over the Brits celebrating their white messiah?
I was born and raised in England. Guy Fawkes was, of course, the VILLAIN! Celebrate his death! He tried to blow up Parliament!
...fireworks! bonfires! Throw and effigy of Guy onto the fire!! YAY!! BURN!!
Not once did anyone I know question the details of the story. It was certainly supported by the State however. I’m not saying Guy didn’t get what he deserved but after living in the USA for 30+ years, as a Constitutional loving citizen, very much distrustful of government, I’m far more cautious about believing ANYTHING that the State celebrates like this.
It certainly feels like there could be more to it and was used as propaganda to advance the interests of those in power - still hundreds of years on, it reinforces the belief that we should LOVE our government. It’s one thing to be a patriot but I’m of the belief that government should be as small as possible and is nothing more than a necessary evil. Washington D.C. is all the evidence I need.
I guess the MSM didn’t remember that it was the 5th of November.
After the Columbine incident, the news idiots said 'thousands' of people were protesting the NRA Meetings & Exhibits in Denver.
Those 'thousands' of people were in Denver for the Cinco de Mayo Parade.
They employ dishonest idiots to piss on America.
Also add POS Verizon/yahoo/aol/huffpost to the list.
