Veteran Anchor Jim Clancy Leaves CNN After Abusive Tweets About Charlie Hebdo Attacks

Longtime anchor Jim Clancy has left CNN just one week after getting into a heated exchange on Twitter about the Paris Charlie Hebdo terror attacks. In the tweet spat with those who disagreed with him, the anchor used a derogatory term for disabled people and another for deriding pro-Isreal issues.

CNN, however, made no mention of the scandal as it paid tribute to Clancy’s 34 years of service with the channel with a spokesperson saying; “Jim Clancy is no longer with CNN. We thank him for more than three decades of distinguished service, and wish him nothing but the best.”

CNN Reports That Boko Haram Is Advancing Across Western Nigeria?

Most people outside Nigeria often have to depend on international media for news of what's happening in the country. And a new report on CNN today was shown with a graphics on the TV that claims that Boko Haram is advancing across Western Nigeria. How true is this?

#DonLemonReporting - CNN Host Tells Bill Cosby's Accuser How Not To Give Oral Sex

#DonLemonReporting is trending on Twitter again after the CNN anchor proved yet again that he's not social media's most beloved TV host. Don Lemon set off the snarky Twitter hashtag when he tried to lecture one of the women accusing Bill Cosby of assault that she could've avoided the rape by biting the comedic giant.

Joan Tarshis alleges she was sexually assaulted by Cosby when she was 19 years old in 1969. She says she was drugged and when she felt Bill Cosby about to get on top of her on a couch, she told him that she had a sexually transmitted disease and if he went through with having vaginal sex with her, he could infect himself. It was then, Tarshis says, that Cosby made her have oral sex with him.
