prolly true, but no way to tell if they renamed them.

Just shows how worthless CNN is, but what can you expect from a "news" network that fakes stories and does not apoligise?

And how is "www.tabloidcolumn.com" considered a trustworthy site?

I could make up images likes those very, very easily but that doesn't mean it is true.

Alternatively, if it is true it is far more likely to have been done by a techie disgrutled by the election results and lacking in proffesionalism completely without the knowledge or approval of the CNN organization.

If you think CNN did this and approved of it you're in looney land.

I do not think CNN did it, if it happend it is surely like you said, still, they HAVE made up stories and are not a respectable source of news in my opinion.

Oh, I'm not saying that CNN is a great news source, just that this accusation has all the markings of BS.

So CNN made a mistake, apologized, retracted the story publically, and now they're in your doghouse? Every news organization makes occasional mistakes. Even Fox News has retracted stories, like when they wrote an article that fabricated quotes attributed to Kerry.

Is your problem with CNN because you think they lie? Or do you make the accusation that they lie to cover that you don't like them because you think they're more liberal then conservative?

the "quotes" were done as a in house joke not ment for publication but were leaked out.
