CNN Defends New Slogan
CNN Defends New Slogan
NEW YORK —The president of CNN Worldwide, Jeff Zucker, attempted on Wednesday to defuse the brewing controversy over his decision to change the network’s official slogan from “The Most Trusted Name in News” to “Holy Crap, We’re All Gonna Die.”
“This exciting new slogan is just one piece of our over-all rebranding strategy,” Zucker said. “Going forward, we want CNN to be synonymous with the threat of imminent death.”
He added that the network expected to see strong ratings growth as a result of having the words “Holy Crap, We’re All Gonna Die” on-screen twenty-four hours a day.
Part of Zucker’s new strategy was on display during Tuesday’s edition of the network’s signature program, “The Situation Room,” in which a visibly ill-at-ease Wolf Blitzer appeared dressed as The Grim Reaper.
“That’s a work in progress,” Zucker said about Blitzer’s makeover. “But once Wolf gets comfortable swinging that scythe, he’s going to be amazing.”

I like to 'hide' who writes these and see the reactions.
Twisted sense of humor? 
So I could almost believe this. 
Only problem with that gif is tthe word 'government' should be replaced with 'corporate' propaganda. CNN are blatant MIC tools, and have been since Ted Turner sold it.
The MIC is a part of our government in name only, as it's supported by many millions of voters. Example of how the GOP shuts down Democratic good goverance to line their own pockets, is in Pierce's article here:
...Ronald Reagan said, in his first inaugural, that government was the problem -- not if you were a defense contractor, one thinks, or a mullah who wanted missiles -- the Republican party has profited uniquely from a massive internal contradiction that would have given a less well-funded institution the blind staggers...

Only a government with an involved, well informed and regularly voting public can resist the propaganda.
