CNN is Stupid

Every picture tells a story, don't it?

On February 9, 2005, CNN ran the following story:

Kay, Carter urge caution on Iran
Former weapons inspector: 'It's deja vu all over again'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former U.S. chief weapons inspector David Kay urged the United States on Wednesday not to make the same mistakes with Iran that he said it made with Iraq ahead of the second Persian Gulf War.

Complete with the following photograph and caption:

On February 12, 2005, CNN ran the following story:

North Korea rallies support for Kim
U.S. rejects Pyongyang demands for direct nuclear talks

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former U.S. chief weapons inspector David Kay urged the United States on Wednesday not to make the same mistakes with Iran that he said it made with Iraq ahead of the second Persian Gulf War.

Complete with the following photograph and caption:

Wow. Do you think they had the same contractor?

Talk about deja vu. The two pictures are exactly the same, one is just a crop of the first.

Note the URL for the picture in the Iran Article: http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2005/WORLD/meast/02/09/kay.iran/story.suspected.site.iran.2.jpg and note the URL for the picture in North Korea Article: http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/02/12/nkorea.nukes.ap/story.suspected.site.iran.jpg

Once again, CNN proves itself as the foremost authority in how to mislead and misinform the public.

Jeepers. Somebody please tell Rush...
