what the

 

Lame

 

Ugh, that story made me sick to my stomach. Did they ever mention from where these toys were imported? Who could be so sick?

 

WTF? Blame the importer?

 

I agree, that's why I'm trying to figure out where these toys came from. CNN often times has some serious reporting issues. How can a new organization write a story like this, say that the importer had no idea what toys were included in a container they shipped to the U.S., but never mention the country of origin, the manufacturer who made them, the 1st party company that sells them, etc.

I'm guessing it was an AP story that they picked up (so it's probably the same on other news organizations' websites too). Still, why wouldn't they spend an hour on expanding the article???

 

I saw this to online, CNN is way to liberal for me I can't stand the bias. I Hence I don't watch tv news rearely. The company said it was a mistake but I'm sure they were made from

BIN Ladin inc or Iran or some shit.

 

This is really lame, even for you. Your mindset disgusts me.

 

I agree, CNN rarely reports in a balanced manner. Unfortunately, they do have the most easily navigable site and the most current content available, so I read it often. I just try to get my news from a number of sources, then try to make decisions somewhere in the middle.

My guess is that CNN didn't want to actually do the research because it didn't have anything to do with alleged "atrocities" waged by U.S. soldiers in foreign wars, France's bravery for speaking out against the U.S., or Jane Fonda's incredible work for the downtrodden Communists of the world. . .

**Note to all: The above is simply a commentary on the research policies of CNN, and were made primarily in jest. Making fun of Jane Fonda and France is always funny in my book. Please do not take this as an opportunity to politicize this thread.**
