CNN accidentally airs 30 minutes of Hardcore PORN

[StaticCling]

CNN has said its subsidiary in Boston aired "inappropriate content" last night, after a viewer reported seeing 30 minutes of hardcore pornography instead of scheduled programming.

Though viewers were tuning in for a new episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, the show's title took on an entirely new meaning when it was reportedly replaced with explicit material starring transsexual pornstar Riley Quinn.

CNN issued a statement to media outlets on Friday blaming the incident on local cable provider RCN. It read: "The RCN cable operator in Boston aired inappropriate content for 30 minutes on CNN last night. CNN has asked for an explanation."

Jeff Carlson, senior VP and general manager of RCN Boston, told Variety that the company is researching the incident but “see no evidence our CNN network feed was compromised last evening in Boston.”

The spin they deserve...


CNN discriminates against transsexuals by condemning late night programming that featured a transsexual performer.

Does anyone else see the irony in the bolded?

[OldSarge]

Isn't that more or less, their news anyway. I think they are the worst news people in the business.

[DAB]

so one of the 3 viewers called in afterwards and complained?

[VITE1]

I thought this would be about Anderson Cooper and his intimate knowledge of "Tea Bagging"

[OddBall]

Pretty much their content anyway

[boracayjohnny]

Where is the FCC? Remember the uproar about Janet Jackson and a nipple flash. CNN aired 30 minutes of porn.

if CNN airs porn in the middle of the night, and no one sees it, did it really happen?

[ApexOversteer]

I figured this was going to be a clever headline about CNN replaying the moment Pedarest came out and told the crybabies at Hillary Campaign HQ that Dear Leader wasn't coming out to say "we're f*cked, go home" from Election Night... now that's hardcore porn...

[stingraymyway]

Just a preview of the screwing CNN will be giving it's viewers in the upcoming year.

Cool story but appears to not be true
Even Fox News is now walking back the story

I won't watch that crap, but you're correct!

[Thunder22]

CNN is now denying that this happened and that it's a hoax.

It took 30 minutes for someone to complain? Or notice?

False CNN-porn report shows how fast fake news spreads (http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/11/25/false-cnn-porn-report-shows-how-fast-fake-news-spreads/94441324/)

False CNN-porn report shows how fast fake news spreads
Jefferson Graham , USA TODAY 8:19 p.m. EST November 25, 2016

LOS ANGELES — No, despite what you read, CNN did not run porn for 30 minutes last night, as was reported by Fox News, the New York Post,Variety and other news organizations, several of which later corrected their stories.

User @solikearose tweeted that Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown," travel show had been replaced, instead, by 30 minutes of porn, via the RCN Boston cable network. That tweet, bolstered by a statement from CNN that seemed to confirm the mishap, was the basis of stories from the U.K Independent and other outlets.

"Despite media reports to the contrary, RCN assures us that there was no interruption of CNN’s programming in the Boston area last night," said CNN in a statement.

RCN chimed in with a similar statement, "We have not had any reports of the programming issue you mentioned," it said in a tweet to @solikarose.

Many of the news outlets have updated their original report with corrections or near total rewrites.

The Next Web still has the original headline about the 30 minutes of porn with an addendum ("probably not.") The Independent switched the headline to "CNN denies airing 30 minutes of hardcore porn." The Blaze suggests the same, but adds "or did the media fall for a hoax?"

The original NY Post story is still up: "CNN viewers feasted their eyes on more parts than they bargained for Thanksgiving night when they tuned in for “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.” Boston viewers hungry for the popular culinary travelogue instead got a hefty serving of hardcore porn for 30 minutes because of a mistake by cable provider RCN, which provides CNN’s broadcasting down the East Coast."

CNN initially seemed to confirm the mistake, telling Variety that the "RCN cable operator in Boston aired inappropriate content for 30 minutes on CNN last night."

Little is known about @solikearose, but the account is now private. "Sorry guys, weirdos sending me hate mail & dick pics in the wake of #bourdainporn," she says on her Twitter page. "Good luck out there."

But as The Verge points out, "this is exactly how fake news spreads." A click-bait worthy tweet sounds like catnip to reporters, who take the info as fact, and run with it.

Fake news shared on social media, primarily Fakebook and Twitter, was rampant in the run-up in the recent presidential election, when headlines touting Hillary Clinton's sale of arms to ISIS and the Pope's supposed endorsement of Donald Trump made the rounds, even though they weren't true.

Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg says he is trying to get to the bottom of the fake news outbreak. "The bottom line is: we take misinformation seriously," he wrote in a Facebook post recently. "We take this responsibility seriously. We've made significant progress, but there is more work to be done."
