CNN curled my toes today when AM’s ms. O’Brien mentioned (and showed) the great black-out picture from space. Apparantly CNN is not aware of the Snopes site (of urban legends fame), which named the very same picture a hoax.
“The original image appears to be a composite satellite photograph of nighttime North America which someone has manipulated with an editing program to darken the northeastern area.”
.
Update 10:00am: it looks like Soledad O’Brien corrected the error, assisted by Space Shuttle Expert Reporter Miles O’Brien (apparantly not related).
Actually, I have the old (free) version running on my PC at work. You want me to upload it to doubtful?
Sure.
(I have no idea what you’re talking about: pictures of Soledad? Miles?)
