OT - news blooper on CNN
Yesterday, morning CNN was showing a report about flooding in Midwest. And while it is serious and tragic event, the note they put on the screen was not formulated carefully: Flood victim said he was crying all day long.

If your point was that a victim should be dead (and thus could not be crying)... not necessarily so.

CNN is going to have to go a long way to top their comments that should have never been broadcast of last week... While reporting on the emptiness of the streets in Boston and surrounding suburbs her comment was: It looks like a bomb went off here. -p On 4/24/2013 11:49 AM, Charles Robinson wrote: On Apr 24, 2013, at 11:40 , Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: Yesterday, morning CNN was showing a report about flooding in Midwest.

Charles: Well, it might be my twisted mind that pays attention to detail... ... or I remember Lewis Carroll's story too vividly... If one didn't know what was happening, it sounds that long crying led to the flood. Paul: indeed! CNN is not unique. Youtube is full of videos of weird, awkward and funny moments from the new casts from all over the world. We are all humans, and do make mistakes...

Let's give them the benefit of doubt, and assume they're practicing understatement, badly.
