(4,462 posts)They rather be first and wrong, than second or later and accurate.
It's all about ratings.

(34,137 posts)Even though we here at DU know that was debunked HOURS after the original claims were made the the two men who were buying explosives were members of the New Black Panther Party, Erin Burnett and CNN were still making that claim tonight.
In addition, she linked those two men to the protestors - even her guests were aghast at that linkage and made her call it back.
CNN does not care what happens in Ferguson. They would be perfectly happy for the town to burn to the ground - better visuals and more stories for them to blow out of proportion.
