http://wonkette.com/570498/the-2014-suckages-of-cnn-rankedPeople say a lot of stupid things. And throughout all of 2014, youd be hard-pressed to find more people saying stupider things in one place than on CNN.
From racist segments making fun of primitive natives to giving airtime to every headcase with no obvious spelling errors on their handmade cardboard signs, 2014 was the year CNN went from bad to embarrassing to just really sad. If CNN really still is Americas Most Trusted Name in News, then we are so screwed.
Here are the 10 worst times CNN really half-assed it this year.
10. CNN Turns Boring Royal Visit Into Racist Nightmare In Just 13 Seconds
9. CNN Wonders: Can the Klan Rebrand? Days After Anti-Semitic Terrorist Attack
8. Crazy Misogynist Rants About How Women Should Love Catcalling
7. Bill Nye Debates Soulless Harpy On Whether Scientists Are Too Mean
The rest at link and the videos plus excellent Wonkette commentary on each.
