This ranks right up there with a CNN talking head saying it's possible that Maylasian Airlines 370 got sucked into space.

Has CNN jumped the shark?

Bless her sweet little heart.

That's the kind of naiveté that one can appreciate and the kind of woman one would like to meet in this jaded world.

I understood that she knew it wasn't an IS flag?

Am I missing the joke?

I missed this broadcast. Which anchor reported on it?

John Oliver mentioned it on his show last night and it was funny as $h*t. CNN reporting used to be okay to good. These days they seem to be trying too hard. Some of the anchors are simply arrogant yet rather uninformed. Some of their so called subject experts are nothing more than has-been who are obviously no longer wired in yet their speculations are considered expertise. Very sad.
