CNN changed its headline on Clarke testimony!

[Teaser]

Previously, the headline on CNN.com had read:

"Panelist Questions Clarke Credibility"

after multiple complaints from users of this site and DailyKos, the headline now reads:

Clarke: White House Lacked Urgency on Terrorism

Power to the people!

1. maybe we CAN take the country back!

2. Remember the asswipe that was giving

Clarke a hard time about the Fox press release and spining things. A one point Clarke said, "I believe that is call politics" and the 9-11 family clapped loudly. And then the asswipe had no more questions. :)

3. Please tell me what we have to do to keep the mediawhores....

exposing Bush???

DailyKos seemed to have worked but I'm not them!

4. are you serious!???????

after multiple complaints from users of this site and DailyKos
Wow. Was there an organized effort from DU to get it changed? Is there a thread where it was discussed?

Way to go, everyone! :toast:
Way to go, CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce:

[htuttle]

6. Organized effort?

No way. We're Democrats.

:P

(with apologizes to Mark Twain...)

13. I thought it was Will rogers who said that

Maybe he just picked it up from Samual

[htuttle]

16. I think you are right

I mis-googled the first time I tried to attribute it.

5. I noticed that also..

I was visiting a right wing board, someone brought up Lehman, and I said to myself it's just a matter of time before the whores at cnn.com post this right wing drivel. Sure enough, 20 minutes later, it was there.

Now a question: How do we find out who is responsible for the content on website cnn.com. Specifically, who decides headlines on their front page etc..

9. I think there is some guy/gal sitting in a cube who just "decides"

If the "management" generally likes his/her decisions, he/she gets to keep his/her job. I'm sure management can give this person a call and ask that something be changed, too.

That's my guess.

[NeoConsSuck]

12. The reason I'm asking is I'm putting together a web site

that's not going to be very nice to cnn.com. I would like names, not positions.

One way or the other, I'll get 'em.

7. YEAH BABY!!

is there any better way to say eff you to Rove and his propaganda machine?

[eaprez]

8. Did they say

they changed it because of multiple complaints?

[gristy]

11. No way!

If I was CNN, why would I want to encourage us?

[eaprez]

15. I doubt they changed it because of complaints.

They have rarely bowed to actions initiated by FAIR so I doubt they changed anything because of 'multiple complaints'

[proud patriot]

10. Wooo Hooooo !

[GOPisEvil]

14. Yahoo did, too!

A while ago it said "CORRECTED: Clarke Says Bush Underestimated Terror Threat". Now the "CORRECTED" has been taken off.
