Well true and that's the same with other news organizations but I think what bothers me most is how they really went above and beyond to promote a stereotype of an entire country's people. No, I'm not talking about the whole bit being about how nice Canadians are (which is a stereotype, many of us are assholes), but rather how uninformed Americans are about the wider world. If this is how most Americans get their news and the news anchors can't even be bothered to state correct facts then is it any wonder people outside the US think the average citizen is hopelessly under informed about the world outside their borders?
Great job on the intellectual ambassadorship, CNN! Not. :-/
