Hacktackular CNN

CNN just got totally busted pushing old poll numbers. They had a local reporter from Ohio on and they threw up the results of a Columbus Dispatch poll from October 4, which showed Bush over Kerry 51-44, and asked if "that's what you're [the reporter] is seeing now."

The guy gently said something like "Uh, no, that poll is several weeks old, the numbers have tightened considerably since then..."

The CNN anchor quickly brushed it off, "oh, uh, thanks for bringing that to our attention."
