CNN deleted a social media post Tuesday after outraged critics flamed it for trivializing the self-radicalized ISIS fanatics accused of hurling bombs at Gracie Mansion — calling them two “teenagers” who entered New York City for “what could’ve been a normal day.”
“Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather,” said the tweet from the lefty news outlet, which was also the since-removed summary accompanying the full article, according to screenshots.
“But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.”

Are we back up?!
I think so!
Anyway, good post.
No, I'm unable to post.
Maybe log out, then back in?
I’m on Google Chrome and everything is fine.
Two teens => Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi.
The B Bee already has a parody news story about how the Japanese were on their way to Hawaii in 1941 for a nice day at the beach and their trip was ruined by Americans shooting them out of the sky.
Seems like this should be a much bigger story
Or John Wilkes Booth entering a familiar Ford’s Theater looking forward to the popular comedy from England...
They also deliberately stated it was an anti Muslim rally, in a way that you might think the bomb throwers were anti Muslims, or that they were at least justified because of the nature of the rally.
Ain’t Islam wonderful.
CNN----> "Teens victimized by (their own attempt at) terrorism. Weather at 11!"
“ Seems like this should be a much bigger story”
Yes. Nothing on the bomb-building site, the parents and their homes, the communication amongst the terrorists, and why they were there. For all that’s been reported, the CNN story is as good as any other report.
I’m an old man and pretty dense. I finally got it.
NY Post. Lol. Hasbeens
Only for the mooselimbs.
I can’t wait for David Ellison to clean house at this sorry excuse for a news operation. Or shut it down entirely.
Surely, you can’t be Sirius.
