Just for fun: What is wrong with this news article?

We've heard of the Natalie Holloway case, I take it - a young girl that disappeared in Aruba during her graduation party. The very vocal attempts by the family, to accuse without trial a young man who was at the scene and saw her last..?

Alright, CNN - just ran a story today about it. Just For fun, what is wrong with the story?

Hint: think about sources.

It was just too specific! (none / 0)

Wow!  There's no WAY someone could just make up details... I mean... when you make something up, you HAVE to stick to generalities, right?  I think it's a law of physics or something...


McCain sucks!

What is wrong with the picture (none / 0)

The problem with the article is obvious.

CNN is supposed to be a NEWS outlet with REPORTERS digging up hard to find facts.
Guys with a name of "scoop" running around
and getting in trouble with officers named
Murphy. Get the picture.

Look at the source: CNN is breaking a major story
based on the fact that their reporter watched
TV to find out.

I think , George W. Bush did the same thing
for hurricane Katrina, did he not?
