Why is CNN always wrong?
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 08:58 PM by HEyHEY

The story says we have one ship on standby - we're doing way more than that.
Canada is sending four ships that are already en route... plus search and resuce teams and firefighters are already there.
I'm not looking for praise... just pointing out how stupid these asses are.. You'd think they'd have a subscription to the Canadian Press newswire so they could get shit right. Considering we are the biggest ally and trading partner to the US you'd think they'd want to keep up on affairs.

1. Please tell your fellow Canucks that HELP IS APPRECIATED!
We just can't get the message out the "usual" way.

8. They really aren't a legitimate news organization anymore. If
they were, they'd check their facts before they put a story up.

11. You can tell your fellow Canadian friends and folks
Us Americans who have a heart and some pride THANK YOU. This madokie is beside myself because our government didn't do anything for way too long and when they did it was way too little. This will be the saddest times in our history.

THANK YOU CANADA
