CNN: Where the hell are the balloons?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

What the F*** is going on up there!

Am I dreaming, I haven't been on the boards at all... but I swear I heard that on CNN yesterday. After Kerry's speech of course...

Anybody else? This is probably old news but I haven't been home and reading news for the past day, so I don't know if you all are going to bite my head off for not knowing :D

[JohnKleeb]

12. hah when you get the time, lemme have it

I am having an odd problem with my harddisk right now though. I may have to reinstall my OS again and I have minor spyware.

[Aftershock]

10. It's true.

Of course, Matt Drudge made an issue out of a non-issue last night about it.

[AlFrankenFan]

14. Yep and they censored it second time around

And Wolf Blitzer and the gang kept on expressing that it wasn't them, it was the guy who was in charge of it and they kept apologizing and being assholes like they normally are.

[cosmicdot]

16. in these ironic times: the AP called it a SNAFU ...

and, we all know what FU means ...

so, CNN used a profanity to report a non-story profanity ... and, classify the 'article' as a HEADLINE ...

:shrug:

so, we're cheneyed even, now?

I'd say journalism and, possibly, the world is
snafu


was that coincidental reporting?

Glitch Broadcasts Convention Snafu on CNN

BOSTON (AP) - The Democrats have a balloon problem.

John Kerry concluded his acceptance speech Friday night, the jubilant convention crowd cheered and the balloons dropped. A few of them. Too few.

"Go balloons," said convention producer Don Mischer, instructing the balloon droppers. "Go balloons. Go balloons!" His voice was becoming increasingly frantic - and it was going out over CNN.

At one point Mischer used a profanity to rebuke his balloon-dropping crew. CNN was still broadcasting his voice.
