A funny picture from CNN

The day after the election, I was still surfing around on the internet looking at the major news sites that had covered it. Lo' and behold, I came upon a story announcing "How George W. Bush won the election", with an accompanying photo of the President and his wife. Bored, I checked out the image properties of that photo, and...

...Well, I'll let you see for yourself. Look at the picture, then look at the highlighted text in the image properties window. CNN isn't as biased as it's made out to be, but apparently one of their webmasters is. I apologize for the size of the pic. :D

Hate to burst your bubble, buddy, but someone made this up. I've seen "Non Biased News" "Asshole" "Asswipe" and several others on various forums. It wasn't CNN, it was someone trying to create a situation for you people to laugh at. When you checked the actual CNN page (when it was still up) the name of the picture was "ElectionBush543" or something to that effect. Just a boring filename.

Edit: This explains why someone would be wasting their time going around and clicking "Properties" on every photo they come across.

I don't care if it was real or not. It certainly is funny.

Go here (http://i.euniverse.com/funpages/cms_content/6019/bohemianrhapsody3.swf) in your browser, then File/Save As (or whatever command it might be).

The CNN page is still up, it's called "georgelaura135.jpg" though.

Edit: This explains why someone would be wasting their time going around and clicking "Properties" on every photo they come across.It was real, and the person responsible was not an employee of CNN, and has been fired for it. Apparently a webpage editior (and presumptive Kerry supporter) at netscape titled the picture and put it on the joint CNN-netscape page. It has been changed and the person with the poor judgment fired. Netscape has put out an announcement on this and if you look for it you can find it.
