CNN News Staffers Revolt Over Blown Coverage

[Zen Democrat]

15. There's nothing good for CNN and Fox in this. They BLEW it badly.

If you notice, MSNBC and Current got it right, as did Democracy Now. I was going between NPR and Democracy Now on the radio driving to work yesterday, and DN first said SCOTUSblog was reporting that the mandate was upheld. Then 1/2 a minute later there was a mention that CNN was saying it was struck down, but Amy Goodman held fast that their source at SCOTUSblog was holding to their first (correct) report that it had been upheld as a tax. I turned to NPR (Diane Rehm) and she was saying that CNN was reporting it was struck down and initiated a conversation about the mandate going down in defeat. John King at CNN was saying that it was a "direct body blow to the President!" It was a clusterf*** of misinformation and a HUGE black-eye for CNN and Fox. Now only did they lead their viewers astray, but all the news sources who piggy-backed onto CNN and Fox for reporting the results, were broadcasting the erroneous report. It was shamefully bad.
