The RCN cable operator in Boston aired inappropriate content for 30 minutes on CNN last night,” the network said in their original statement. “CNN has asked for an explanation."
Two hours later, CNN took the side of the East Coast cable provider and sent The Independent the following statement: "Despite media reports to the contrary, RCN assures us that there was no interruption of CNN’s programming in the Boston area last night."
Viewers were apparently tuning in for a new episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and the show took on an entirely new meaning when it was replaced with explicit material starring transsexual pornstar Riley Quinn. The pornstar eventually thanked the network for the reportedly free airtime.

The user, only identified as Rose, later spoke with BuzzFeed News regarding the entire ordeal. “I initially posted because I wanted to see if anyone else in Boston had been affected,” the used explained on Friday. “I think it was a broadcasting error that affected only my house.”
On Friday, RCN responded to the complainant on Twitter, asking the user to share their personal information. "We have not had any reports of the programming issue you mentioned on CNN in Boston,” the company wrote. “If you're still having an issue with that channel, please DM us your address so we can troubleshoot when you're home

CNN denied airing 30 minutes of inappropriate content on Thursday night after initially blaming local cable television provider RCN for the mishap, the network clarified on Friday.
Looks like the video went out over the air, then CNN wanted answers. Then CNN denied it happened. To me anyway.

Good points, CNN is aggressively going after Trump, and they were horrible to watch during the loss that Hillary was handed. It was very obvious that they were not objective.
I welcome your opinion, but disagree,
Surely many of us are disappointed by the lack of objectivity in media. You are, I am and I would guess that most of us here who visit ATS are also. This does not mean though that we will help the problem of media bias by pointing out only those perceived to hold a 'liberal' bias as did that article a few days ago about Ron Paul's ''Fake New Sources''.
By posting the word Fake, you are helping to perpetuate a piece of propaganda established to advance the meme that only non-conservative outlets are fake. Propaganda works just as well by omitting things as presenting true ones.

The only reason Fake news has come out is a horrible attempt to stop the pedo DNC connection.
And of course if Pizzagate/pedo story gets legs, it will take down alot of people on both sides and in business overseas as well as here.

False. The "fake news meme" was started by the Left to combat pieces that run contrary to the MSM narrative. You are in fact helping to perpetuate the propaganda that this was started by the Right.
