Great Moments in Mainstream Media: CNN Creates Panic on 9/11 Anniversary September 11, 2009 0 Comment A little late on this, but it's hilarious. The Coast Guard was conducting an exercise on the Potomac River today and CNN thought it was real. Watch them try to shift the blame. White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs: “Let’s understand that best I can tell there was reporting based on listening to a police scanner that was not verified, and then it was on television and now we’ve raced back to find out that it’s a training exercise. So I think it appears as if a lot of this might have been avoided,” Gibbs said. Gibbs told reporters that the Coast Guard was holding a news conference to explain the exercise. “Hopefully CNN will go,” Gibbs quipped. “My only caution would be that before we report things like this, checking would be good.” Facebook Google Twitter More Pinterest Linkedin Tumblr Related Posts :Kettle Black: DUI Killer Rick Sanchez calls Fox LiarComing from a guy who killed a man while driving drunk and left the scene of the accident… CBS's 60 Minutes Slobbering Love Affair with ObamaJust in case you caught yet another free informercial for Barack Obama on 60 Minutes last… Great Moments in Mainstream Media: CNN Creates Panic on 9/11 AnniversaryA little late on this, but it's hilarious.
