Kim Jong-Il & the North Korean Missile Crisis: Real or CNN Fabrication?

CNN has had its shorts in knot for 4 days while raising the blood pressure of Americans with regard to the so-called, imminent nuclear rocket launch in North Korea. We've seen the pictures all over the news with the experts brought in to use the dumb magic board to demonstrate how vulnerable the US is to attack. You can tell Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper are just itching to tell Americans to pack a lifetime supply of baked beans and head underground. This has been their best scoop since the economic crisis. Like, how many more gross poor people interviews could Anderson Cooper really stomach?

I've been a little suspicious of this story since it broke late last week. Number one, CNN was reporting the story on heavy rotation. This is always a clue into how inauthentic the story is. CNN is the most sensationalistic news network next to FOX News. Many of their high profile stories need to be taken with a huge grain of salt (especially if Ed Henry's reporting). Number two, all the other international networks were not giving the story the same amount of credence the US networks were. Number three, I discovered today that it was not a nuclear rocket that North Korea was planning to launch, but a satellite that they are planning to launch into orbit sometime next month. Whaaaaat?!!!

Now, I'm not trying to minimize the very real threat of nuclear weapons, but what I'm trying to point out is the inaccuracy of the mainstream American media- most especially CNN and FOX News. Kim Jong-Il (a.k.a. The Other 'Lil Kim), a real hot mess of a human being, is very dangerous, but is North America about to be obliterated by our pompadour-wearing foe? Not likely... well, at least not for now.

THIS WEEK'S EMPEROR OF WHACKNESS: CNN's Ed Henry

Everyday on God's Green Earth there is someone who grossly offends humanity- and by humanity I mean... me. Though the twits of this world are as plentiful as the goose dung that dots a city beach, there is always a 'special' twit that shines through. This week the crown belongs to CNN's Senior White House Correspondent, Ed Henry.

Ed Henry is very deserving of this title. If anyone watched President Obama's press conference on Tuesday they'd know what I'm talking about. Ed has great difficulty hiding the fact that he is a hard line Republican (if you didn't notice this, just take a second look at his haircut). Emperor Ed took his moment in the sun on that fateful Tuesday night by asking the President a two-part question about the national debt and the AIG bonus scandal. The President proceeded to answer the first part of the question whilst ignoring Emperor Ed's questioning of his outrage reaction time on the bonus debacle. Eddy then goes on to press the President on his unanswered second question to which President Obama responds: "It took us two days because I like to know what I talk about before I speak".
