CNN, Fox `break' the news

In the age of Twitter, the news cycle has been amped up to warp speed. Is anyone shocked by a major error --such as getting a landmark Supreme Court ruling wrong? Let's watch how it played out on CNN and Fox News, and the reaction.

  1. Twitterverse has not been kind. But it has been funny.
  2. The mistakes.
  3. RT @57UN: Here is a screen grab of CNN saying the mandate was struck down, inaccurately. #SCOTUS #ACA #healthcare http://pic.twitter.com/PfX925dY
  4. RT @salgentile: Here are the original CNN and Fox News chyrons next to each other. On par with "Dewey Defeats Truman." http://pic.twitter.com/oS2uUKcK #scotus #aca
  5. CNN got individual mandate wrong on air, online, in breaking news email & on Twitter. The full account: journ.us/N6QlgX #cnnheadlines
  6. CNN has been dying a slow death since the O.J. trial. Today, the casket was purchased. Or maybe it wasn't. http://pic.twitter.com/Dx7hC0pM
  7. Correction: The Supreme Court backs all parts of President Obama’s health care law. on.cnn.com/LvVRcK
  8. Another screen-cap showing CNN initially published that #AHCA was overturned #SCOTUS #ACA #healthcare http://pic.twitter.com/Yu2403nP
  9. And the responses are still coming in. ...

  11. Someone is gettign a stern talking to later today @ CNN, Fox News Wrong On Individual Mandate huff.to/MCNHnC via @HuffPostMedia
  12. CNN: Sorry for the mixup, we'll stop trying to inform people of anything and focus on our core strength: catchy graphics and empty rhetoric.
  13. RT @YahooNoise: Jon Stewart's expected evisceration of CNN on tonight's Daily Show should rank up there with the Mets' 17-run pounding of the Cubs yesterday
  14. Haha you can tell which news stations reported it just bc CNN said it. Now everybody is apologizing.
