Goddamn I hate CNN.

Right now they're goggling over the glorious full-color photos from THE WRONG FUCKING ROVER on Mars.

They keep showing the "Greeley Panorama," which can be seen here:

An amateur like me can tell it is the wrong picture off the bat (even if I hadn't looked at this picture already this week) because Opportunity's tire tracks are visible. Curiosity has not yet moved.

Just... just awful.

1. Too bad your TV set only gets one channel

And doesn't have an Off button.

2. In point of fact...

...My better half left the television on. I don't watch that crap, and this is why.

3. Perhaps they'll show a shot Apollo 11, because, you know, it's all just spacy stuff.

5. Or a pie plate hung from a fishing rod.

As I mentioned above, because I gave up on cable news ten years ago, I get pretty bent out of shape when I see it now. It's all breezy disinformation now.

What does it matter if it's the wrong picture? CNN's viewers can't locate Mars on a map, anyway.

4. Gee without any cable TV I have so many fewer things to hate.

Fortunately DU and online news are here to remind me.

6. Yes, they decided to drop news and go into entertainment

and they are terrible at both.
