On the "news" side of CNN, they should run this tape every 30 minutes or so. It is well worth the effort to catch it to see an example of the left wing media being far more concerned with the revisionist emotional picture they can present for today's lefties than they are about basic factual accuracy. Maybe some of the failed NYT folks have moved to CNN.

Wasn't Hiroshima the first time depleted uranium was used as a weapon?

That is like saying the Space Shuttle put men on the moon. I have seen glaring inaccuracies in the media, but they don't care. A Story is more than just facts to the left-wing media.

CNN's never been shy about making up "facts" to fit their version of the story....

Which bomb got dropped on Nagasaki, anyway? Was it "Person of Size, Self-Identified as of the Masculine Gender" or "Stature Challenged Pre-adult Male"? I can never remember.

Figures. But who cares about facts when you can make them up as you go on?

LOL wouldn't surprise me. As G. Gordon Liddy would say, "They don't even know which end of the gun the round comes out of!"

The only thing worse than CNN I've ever seen is ABC World News Tonight. Cheesy. The local newscasters are better, and that ain't saying much.

"a B-52 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki."

Did they mention the pilot was an Israeli Air Force officer?

9:20 PM, CDST

I see you got the time covered regardless if we are on daylight savings time (CDT) or standard time (CST).

You do know, though, that there is a difference between the two, don't you. While most of the central time zone is currently on CDT, some Indiana counties don't observe daylight savings time. Those counties are on CST all year.

So which is it?

It was an F-22 with an "assault rifle" attachment.

BS! I know it was an F-117 that went through a time warp and was stolen by the Nazis! They did it to make us look bad.

The B-52A first flew in 1954, and the B model entered service in 1955. A total of 744 B-52s were built with the last, a B-52H, delivered in October 1962.

But then, leave it to CNN to screw it up.

They're using Million-Man Math...5+2 = 7 and 9-2 = 7. If it works for Calypso Louie, it'll work for CNN.
