CNN Names Image Files For President Bush:#@!hole.jpg; Moron.jpg
Tabloidcolumn.com ^ | Nov. 4, 2004 | Jake Easton

Posted on 11/04/2004 11:01:13 AM PST by owls_man

In a not-so-surprising move on the part of CNN employees, they placed an image of President Bush and his wife Laura on their homepage, and named the photo image '!@#hole.jpg.' The photo has since been renamed and by 9:30AM, !@#hole.jpg was removed from their server. This story first posted by Paul at WizBangBlog.com.

At first I did, but I stand corrected. My bad. I guess I've earned the Alan Combs "I'm a bug eyed freak" award.

That's not Drudge's link. It's a Yahoo link.

This where we need to keep pushing these libs. I just sent an email to the Clinton News Network as follows

"I expect an apology from your organization for the inappropriate naming our Presidents .jpg files posted on your site and the firing of the employee that did it. If not an email campaign to your advertisers will commence."

The only place that hurts these people worse than the ballot box is the back pocket and the advertisers control that.

Can't imagine why the MSM is acting like someone p*ssed in their Post Toasties? I think they are going to finish themselves off with a simple nudge. It can't happen to a more deserving group of idiots.

More of the "Mean Spiritedness" that Clintoon was always warning us about.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

Anyone have a boycott list of those who advertise on the CNN website?

I want to see a public firing and statement from CNN.

Get a grip.

I saw the "a**hole" designation yesterday, what does get a grip mean, are you referring to just that one photo? WHRE might mean White House ready room, you're probably right about that but the premise of the story stands.

Last week CNN made a big deal about a "doctored photo" in a Bush ad.

Maybe someone should send the story to pMSNBC and Fox, they might want to put it on their air.

Let's see, these are the people moaning all day that the President has to reach out, right? As usual, the MSM/H (for Hollywood) takes the high road.

Tell them that if the pig who did that is not named and fired, that the FCC will get a copy of what they named that site.

The FCC needs copies of this. This goes with their drop the **** balloons at the Rat convention.

The FCC doesn't regulate cable (not a broadcast signal) or the internet.

This must be taken to their advertisers (in both media if necessary).
