News Corp Explosion: CNN Reacts

CNN clamored into breaking news mode over reports of an explosion at the News Corp headquarters in New York this morning. At first CNN thought Fox News was the target of the attack. Fox News is based in News Corp's Broadway headquarters.

CNN dropped the breaking banner when one of their producers reported, "there are about 100 people outside waiting to go into their offices...but no stretchers with people on them." And while the producer was describing how Fox News wasn't destroyed, CNN anchor Heidi Collins couldn't resist blurting out, "Oh!" Next time the control room producers need to cut her microphone!

I quit watching Faux news in 2003 when Giraldo showed up in Iraq.
One must admit Faux news is needed to present a wide stance on the issues of the day.
A wide stance is needed so the writers can get their head out from the Bush/Cheney A$$! Much like Senator Craigs' stance.

I still want to know whene they're going to tell us whose head blew up - Hannity or Bill O'Reilly.....

My bets are on Bill O.

So the Fox newsroom wasn't destroyed. Pity.

All those folks over at FAUX talking out of their backsides ... the methane finally reached critical mass. My only thought is what comment sent it over the edge?

Gee, I had no idea bullshit was explosive.

FOX could be off the air and they'd still beat MSNBC.

Is some troll or maybe a group of trolls looking into this? Has anybody claimed responsibility for setting off the alleged explosion or planting the story CNN used?

Would an explosion at Fox news be good?

NO

The president with his henchmen and a useless congress would pass even more laws to eradicate civil liberties

When it comes to times of war, most of the media is pretty much useless.

Watch:

War made easy
Independent media in time of war

They need to cut her microphone off because she said "Oh!"? That doesn't even make sense!

[oobatzcattlecall]

O'Reilly's head simply IM-ploded.

Rupert M's business explodes; Rupert E's career implodes.

Fox News is in the basement and continued broadcasting without interruption.

Yes, Fox news is in the basement!

False Alarm!! It was just Bill O'Reilly's ego exploding.

CNN can only dream of the days when the spoon fed only Liberal news....and had viewers HAHAHAHAHA

Who among us would have wept if Fox News HQ had been blown up? I can honestly say I wouldn't've.

I view working for Fox News the same way Kevin Smith viewed, in "Clerks", independent contractors working on the second Death Star that was blown up as a work in progress: they knew what they were getting into when they took a job with the Evil Empire.
