CNN Mistakenly Identifies Interior Sec. Salazar as Sec. of Energy throughout an entire Segment!
On off-Shore Drilling, with a headline "Energy Secretary wants more Off-shore Drilling"

They did an interview with Salazar, and yes, John King named him as "Treasury of Energy"...

Of course, the only problem with all of that is that Salazar is the Secretary of the Interior.

The Secretary of Energy is Steven Chu.

I think this was "mistake" was done on purpose.

It doesn't sound quite menacing enough to say that the Secretary of the Interior has something to say about an Exterior matter dealing with energy. So they just changed Salazar's title, and Presto-Chango, all that he said brings a shiver to those opposed to off-shore drilling!

1. CNN has become so unprofessional
as it has become more and more of a right-wing Republicon propaganda tool...

I reckon the two go hand in hand.

4. Gee, what a "surprise". From the ONLY nation in the world that
thought Saddam Hussein did 911, I'm so shocked at our "media" making such a mistake.
