Misleading CNN.com Headline Denigrates Secretary of State
Clicking on the link for the article, this is the story presented:
The title of the article clarifies that it is North Korea making fun of Secretary of State Clinton. Below is the comment I posted to the CNN.com article, expressing my continuing disappointment with the "news" service's journalistic misbehavior, about which I have previously written.
This gives the impression that the story is about widespread derision of the U.S. Secretary of State in foreign countries; but as it turns out, the title of the article, itself, at the link is this: "North Korea: Clinton 'funny lady, by no means intelligent'." The rogue, internationally isolated regime in Pyongyang making fun of a high U.S. official does not, in any way, shape, or form, merit that front-page title.
Really, CNN? Are you that hard-up to stir more Right-wing animosity? Denigrating Hillary Clinton using a misleading headline is the realm of FOX News, and on my Websites I have been documenting your descent into that awful place into which journalism in general has debased itself. You just published a headline representing as a general foreign sentiment the propaganda of the North Korean government.
I have made screen captures of the front page and the article, itself. My readership will once again be infuriated by your outrageous departures from professionalism.
For your part, I trust that your misleading headline pleased your narrowing readership. Maybe it distracted them from the persistent annoyance of those silly, flashing, jerking, twitching ads you slap at the top of your "serious" Website's front page.
Yes, you're serious journalists, alright. Perhaps a merger with FOX News is in the offing. That would be a match made in Heaven.
Or someplace else, more likely.
At the time of the publication of this article at Dark Wraith Publishing online properties, CNN.com had not posted my comment, which is consistent with previous comments I have submitted that were never posted.
CNN.com describes itself as "the Web site of the Most Trusted Name in News." Readers must decide for themselves the extent to which that motto is yet further evidence of CNN's inability to deliver factual news.

I suppose that's possible. CNN.com does probably need to keep its personnel budget on the lean side.

There was a time when I thought he was funny. I grew up. He didn't.
that is good snark on the page. I quick out of context insult, coupled with a military ad detailing our brave men shooting at impoverished civilians using radio controlled drones, driven from a desk that is probably cluttered with energy drink cans and snack cake wrappers.
I tend to picture Dennis Nedry in that role, though it's more likely to be pimple faced young men that are barely shaving.
Dave and Busters had an early 3d game up many years ago, that I gave a try. I the attendants looked military to me, and it turned out they were Navy Recruiters. I was playing a lot of twitch games back then and one of the recruiters couldn't believe that I scored so high on my first attempt. The other recruiter said to forget me, I was too old to retrain to have the proper moral ambiguity to fly unmanned drones... I knew he was right.
i bet a person could wrack up a lot of negative karma while bravely flying them from 9 to 5.
