You have to see this post on DU
From a good user I don't recognize.

Apparently CNN has a page on a Bin Laden Tape - near the bottom of the page in the section that links to other articles is a JK photo - if you click it goes to a Bin Laden article.

1. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Here's a link for anyone wanting to complain to CNN. This is really disgusting on their part. (Either that or a REALLY bad mistake.)

2. Done
and boy did I give them a piece of my mind, from Candy Crowley on down, compared them to the Bush administration. That felt good.

3. Done - grrrr
I'm posting the feedback address in that thread.

Did you see the post about the properties of the pic?

It is very disturbing.

6. The properties on the photos are disturbing indeed.
Something tells me that this wasn't a mistake on CNN's part - this was deliberate. (Otherwise, the properties on the photo would be different,no?)

5. Done!
Note:



Is CNN becoming even more sloppy or has this network always been a tool for propaganda?

That's from the above pic.

This is what is disturbing me more than the pic leading to the article.

assholes - this tells me it is deliberate.

9. The properties really do make it clear that this is not a mistake
but deliberate - Even if the picture was from a Kerry interview speaking on the appearance of a tape, this photo should not be here - there is absolutely no mention or comment from Kerry on the resultant article.

Has anyone sent this to Kerry's office?

10. That's what I sent to them in my note:
the properties, it just showed up as the image in the post. The properties make it absolutely clear it wasn't an error.

4. That's disgusting.
They should issue an apology and an article about how Senator Kerry has repeatedly criticized Bush for outsourcing the capture of Bin Laden to Afghan rebels. He's been proven right on this and that should be "newsworthy."

8. wasn't there a similar thing not too long ago
in many ways CNN is worse than Fox since Fox is so obvious about it's right wing leanings and most people know to take that into account whenever they report something.

but too many see CNN as moderate or at least not right wing leaning.

i really hate them. and i'm betting this was intentional and not a mistake.

12. Yeah, they have a different story in the links now

so I don't know if it was the emails or just time. The DU person who caught it and posted it was great.

13. Sounds like someone should keep their eye on them
to make sure this doesn't happen again.
