Media / Politics FOX News & CNN Big-Time Screw Up: The Video
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 10:44 AM
As you may have heard, or potentially saw, both CNN and FOX News mistakenly reported that the SCOTUS this morning struck down the Affordable Care Act—causing a monumental embarrassment for both news agencies. New York Magazine put together this hilarious video of CNN and FOX making their gaffe and then spinning nearly out of control trying to correct it. And OMIGOD the look on Megyn Kelly's face is soooooo sweet!
UPDATE: An editor over at the AP is telling his reporters via email to stop making fun of CNN and FOX News.
Please, immediately, stop taunting on social networks about CNN and others’ SCOTUS ruling mistake and the AP getting it right.
That’s not the impreßion we want to reflect as an organization. Let our reporting take the lead.
(pause) HAHAAHAHAAAAWWWWWWW!!
