This is very interesting. CNN did a piece on steroids in wrestling recently and interviewed WWE champ John Cena. When asked if he used steroids, he says, "Absolutely not" and then goes into a long detailed answer as to why he hasn't. CNN decided to cherry pick his answer and used a line out of context to make it look like he was saying you would never catch him on a drug test.

Anyway, WWE was furious and posted both the CNN clip and the original answer on their website:

Interesting, and not in a good way.

CNN has been doing the same thing in recent weeks to political figures they don't like. At least 2 examples have been documented by Media Matters and other watchdog websites.

Unprofessional would be the least of the epithets I would apply to such behavior.

They're not a news station anymore, quite simply.

Kinda like that SIMPSONS sketch when Homer was accused of touching up the babysitter . The clock in the background was going crazy! and that freezeframe at the end? Priceless.
