CNN's lowlife III world view - pretty darn shameless.

This wasn't above the fold but here's what CNN had to say on Wednesday's solar eclipse in India. This is also known as careless presumptive BS. I looked and could not find any such report. This was an AP feed.

Per CNN (AP report):

'Superstition will follow around the world, as it has for generations.

One Indian paper advised pregnant women not to go outside during the eclipse to avoid having a blind baby or one with a cleft lip. Food cooked before the eclipse should be thrown out afterward because it will be impure and those who are holding a knife or ax during the eclipse will cut themselves, the Hindustan Times added.'

Thanks, CNN-Time-Warner of the I world, but where's said report that reinforces your desired III world stereotype? There's not a chance that a mainstream newspaper like HT would do that.

Careless nonsensical reporting, no fact checking by some ignorant moron reporter - makes me lose respect for CNN. For shame.
