CNN Apologizes for Briefly Airing Non-Flight 370 Story
Posted by Andy Borowitz



NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—CNN apologized to its viewers today for briefly airing a story on Sunday that had nothing to do with the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

The story, which caused thousands of viewers to contact the network in anger, had something to do with Crimea, Ukraine, and Russia.

In the official apology, CNN chief Jeff Zucker wrote, “On Sunday, we briefly cut away from our nonstop coverage of Flight 370 to talk about something else. We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we messed up. CNN regrets the error and promises our viewers that it won’t happen again.”

5. Spot on. I'm sure it's wrenching for all involved, and endless media speculation doesn't help.

A good Borowitz comment on the media mode in all of this.
