My  wife love to remind me of my minor hearing loss.  She constantly telling me that I can't hear. Well, neither can CNN! While watching that poor excuse of a cable news outlet, I heard three different members of the regime in Washington make statements concerning ISIL.  Those statements were prepping the public for support ing the USA to go after the terrorists de jour, ISIL.  These are some brutal terrorists who have beheaded two USA journalists, so far.  They also have murdered 100 hundreds of Iraqi and Syrian soldiers.  Did I mention the hardship dealt to and killing of many civilians? It is insulting to watch the mainstream news shows on TV.   Someone at CNN is needs a vacation.  That people has determine the name for the terrorist group will be ISIS even if the President of The United States refers to them as ISIL.  Tonight, I heard three officials clearly say I-S-I-L but: 1.  CNN decided to use ISIS even if they showed a video of The President less than 15 seconds earlier saying "degrade and destroy ISIS." 2.  CNN decided to use ISIS even if they showed a  video of Sec. of Defense Chuck Hagel less than 15 seconds earlier saying "degrade and destroy ISIS." 3.  CNN decided to use ISIS even if they showed a video of The Vice President  less than 15 seconds earlier saying "follow them to gates of Hell." The last example quoted VP Biden saying "follow ISIS to gates of Hell" when  he actually used the word "them" not ISIS. Why does this upset me? Because of something called trust.  I want to be able to trust journalists.  A few are being beheaded,  Many more are being killed trying to give insights into conflicts around the world.  For CNN to play footloose with the facts is insulting and pi$$e$ me off. Now, I'm guessing CNN would defend captions with something like: We only put quotes around the words "degrade & destroy" to mean they were actually said by Obama and Hagel. That's footloose with the facts and doesn't explain using the word ISIS when VP Biden actually said "them."   FOX NEWS is looking better and better:(
