Newsbusters posted this story yesterday of CNN playing Pink’s “Stupid Girls” as an intro to a short segment about Sarah Palin:

You and I both know this was intentional, but CNN is saying that it was just an unfortunate mistake or something (h/t: Mediaite):

“The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story. We regret any perception that they were planned together.”

That’s bullcrap. The producers who set up the bumper music know the stories they are introducing, otherwise they’d be idiots and wouldn’t be working there.

Sorry CNN, but we aren’t stupid.

Why the heck is CNN reporting on anything SP does or says? After all, she is totally and completely IRRELEVANT. Right? right?

You are right scoop - of course, but the media apologing for the CO shooting and now this, is something I've never seen before! I'm encouraged by the pressure to the MSM

I just got back from a ladies luncheon where a couple of women (one unmarried and not likely to find someone, the other married but without kids) were so critical of Sarah Palin. A simple question from me "why, can you give me a reason?" resulted in their eyes going all crazy and their mouths almost all frothy. I am not kidding. It's a phenomena that needs to be observed to be believed. The hatred from the women against Palin is something that even if a thousand analysts are put to the task to tell us how and why, they won't be able to. Let's just be thankful we are afflicted with that kind of hatred ... it's a sickness of the mind.

Can you say Freudian slip! Thanks for the insight into what really makes your side tick.

I sent a forceful email yesterday to CNN due to this issue. They can run but they cannot hide. We know they are biased to the left and hate Republicans and Conservatives.

Sorry, CNN. You're not forgiven. Just like Brian Ross and ABC isn't forgiven for their "gaffe" of trying to link the Aurora mass murderer with the Tea Party.

I'm tired of turning the other cheek. It's long past time you were held to account for both the overt attacks as well as the little digs you make.

Of course they knew...they have to REPORT THE TITLE OF THE SONGS USED FOR LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ROYALTIES ISSUES.

What a joke. CNN is becoming more and more inconsequential with every reveal of pure hatred they have toward the right.

A mistake, huh?... Kinda like the last time I tuned into to CNN. THAT was an accident, and as soon as I realized my mistake, I quickly tuned in to a different channel.

CNN lies.

I prefer to think that it was more of a comment on the CNN anchor. :)

If anyone here believes CNN made a whoops, I've got some great swampland to sell ya! The lamestream is shameless and once we get this imposter in chief out of office, I hope we clean out what passes for journalism in this country. Either report straight facts without bias or get the he ll off the air, out of print, and move to the socialist dreamland you wish to be a part of. I can't believe people get paid to be this vulgar and stupid!

They really think we are idiots don't they? Luckily all this does is galvanize more people to Sarah's side so they lose in the end.

Apology my @$$, and yes they did......RScoop. It's a slow decay going-on over at "Time Warner",

Just this last week, Friday, CNN CEO: Jim Walton has announced he's quitting. Quote: for lack there of, poor rating's, and doesn't like the stagnant direction the Company's going. He's done carrying the "O" water my friends. There, I said-it for him. Tick,tick,tick

Good for Sarah and Todd, I just love her spunk. BTW: just in case some may not be aware of what a wonderful Co. Chic-fil-a is,,,,,,,, Every year on Veterans day, this Company honor's all our Military by giving them free meal's and donates their proceeds to the Wounded Warriors foundation. WhooYA!

Come-on CNN we know that you're sucking hind tit in the ratings but this is so juvenile.

I can't stand Obama and Marxist democrats but that does not give me an excuse to behave unprofessionally on the job. You're supposed to be a national news network and you act like a community college newspaper.

The left denigrates and attacks and marginalizes those who they fear the most! The Arctic Fox will not be stopped by such petty and demeaning tactics....CNN really does not get it....at.all.

You guys can correct me if I am wrong but when CNN started in 1980, I dont remember such a liberal slant Of course there was nothing to compare it to. I just remember being blown away by the availablity to see "live' news 24 hours a day.

Remember in the late 80's when the little girl fell into the well in Texas. What coverage!!!! The entire world was capitivated.

AND then in 1991 the live reporting of the Gulf war. The one reporter Bernard Shaw, remember him? He nearly had a heart attack- on air when the bombing started.

MTV started soon after in 1981. Ah the good old days when MTV meant music.

DOH! They're not supposed to! I don't know how you did that lol! I only wanted to know if you got e mail alerts from here to tell you that someone replied to your comments... when I used to get them, it would tell me so and so replied to your comments and include the text and a link to the site. THat's why I wanted to know, because I wrote my e mail on here- but I didn't want everyone to know it, so I left it up long enough for you to get an alert so you could copy my e mail lol! If you need it again, let me know- but I'll only leave it up for a short time ;-)

I really liked the show for about half a season. Once it became teen magazine and tabloid fodder, I was done with it. My sisters liked it, though.

I liked the music even though I quit watching the show. A few of their songs are perennial favorites on the oldies stations.
