Just before they went to break during The Brief, someone mistakenly switched to CNN US where Ali Velshi was talking about Facebook. It lasted only about two seconds, then there were another few seconds of black, followed by commercials.

EDIT: After The Brief ended, CNNI started simulcasting CNN US, which lasted for about 20 minutes when Ali Velshi announced CNNI is going back to regular programming. Jim Clancy popped up immediately after that, but before he managed to say "Welcome back", he was cut off by commercials.

Centre or Center

They call it Sport instead of Sports and show far too much on the English Premier League, so it probably is Centre.

Just watched first 30 minutes of World Report from HK and they've been using the WBT background instead of the usual one.

It's a mistake that should be happening every day. Ralitsa said "For our viewers in Europe and Latin America, Piers Morgan Tonight starts now", but as of now the EMEA feed is still showing World Report with Ralitsa.

Jeff Jarvis, US media critic of BuzzMachine and #f--kyouwashington fame, tweeted the followings during the 12p ET hour:

On CNN, Candy Crowley just called Dan Rivers Dan Rather.

Not the first time that's happened, I bet.

This is the mother of all screw-ups. CNN and Fox both wrongly reported that the individual mandate in Obamacare was struck down. They had to walk it back, rather clumsily, five minutes later. I am totally laughing my @$$ off. Oh geez, can CNN get anything right? After being late to call most primary results only to arrogantly lecture everyone else about how they would rather get it right than be first, you would think they would proudly stick with that philosophy. Well they were the first today... to get it horribly wrong! Its pretty sad when the AP has to issue an email to their reporters to stop taunting CNN on social media. I am certain that finding this fiasco gobsmackingly hilarious makes me a terrible person but I don't really care. Gotta love cable news!

The whole domestic fiasco seems to have made CNNI's graphics go crazy

Someone turned off the plasma screen a bit too early

Anyone else caught last night during the NewsCenter how CNNI butchered the Ukranian president's name? If my ears caught it correctly, he was several times referred to as Yukanovich while it should've been Yanukovich(or any other transliteration of your choice)

Here are a couple of CNN's recent screw ups...

Let's not forget the mother of all failures recently...
http://www.scotusblo...ng-assessments/
The SCOTUS article really goes into detail about what went wrong and when.

So, these reports must be CNN's attempt at targeting the "affluent, sophisticated, and global," because it sure as hell doesn't appeal to the "educated"!

Ok, that was a little snarky.

Haven't had a chance to read the first two you posted, but read the SCOTUS article yesterday. Was that a telling and excellent read or what?

[modlib]

Solar System, I too read that whole SCOTUSblog tick-tock on the health care ruling debacle and found it utterly fascinating. So telling! When is CNN gonna live that down?

[newser]

CNNI made a letterboxing mess during the first segment of PMT replay.


It returned to normal after the first commercial break.

In SR this morning the video came on, but the sound didn't. After a short while, the show went to commercial & we got a rerun of Erin B.
