CNN Hack

Try to watch this bimbo scold a woman for being “antagonistic” without laughing.

I haven’t watched CNN in ages. I have to thank Susan Roesgen for reminding me why.

Update:

Hell hath no fury indeed.

Another Update:

Bill Whittle has a nice video essay on just why media bias matters. For the record, I think 15 points is conservative. Pun intended.

Probably the Last Update:

CNN, class act.

They’ll probably take our copies down, too. If they do, I’ll look for other sites to upload it to, or perhaps try to embed it here on the blog. And I may take Ben Sheffner’s advice and file a DMCA counternotice. If CNN wants to sue me, we can make this a test case.

One of my readers took me to task in the comments for calling Roesgen a “bimbo”. I now realize that I should apologize to bimbos everywhere.

A House Divided

A poll taken in Louisiana on a question that should be no more controversial than “is the sky blue?” had stunningly sad results.

Just in time for the bicentennial observance of Charles Darwin’s birth, a new survey of Louisiana residents shows 40 percent of the respondents believe evolution is not well-supported by evidence or generally accepted within the scientific community. Only 39 percent of the respondents said they believed evolution is well-supported by evidence. Twenty-one percent said they did not know.

That’s almost half the state living in some combination of denial and ignorance. The split even affects the governor’s mansion. On the one hand is Bobby Jindahl, who signed that stealth creationism bill. On the other hand is his wife, Supriya, who just “launched a private foundation to promote math and science education in Louisiana’s classrooms.” Must make for interesting dinner conversation.

Not accepting evolution is one thing, and quite bad enough, but to think that there is any doubt of evolution within the scientific community is just breathtakingly ignorant.
