CNN Mistakes Audio of Coast Guard Training on Potomac for Real Thing

"Slow down or you will be fired on."

Editor's note: The first clip in this playlist is the CNN report that aired about 10:14 AM Friday. The second clips is a Fox News report a few minutes later explaining that that incident was only a training exercise.

CNN   September 11th, 2009 - 11:18 am

Sorry we are all morons here and tend to do and say things that make us look more
like communists than Americans.

Again, sorry for our utter stupidity but then you know us, we are dumb and it is not our fault.

buddy lo   September 11th, 2009 - 11:21 am

If there was real news breaking, then CNN would be the last to know.

temple62   September 11th, 2009 - 11:22 am

CNN missed it by that much!

Anexio   September 11th, 2009 - 11:22 am

I highly doubt that the Coast Guard was running a training exercise in Washington, DC on the morning of 9/11.

jubbathehut   September 11th, 2009 - 11:27 am

CNN? is there still anyone that watches this blatantly partisan bunch of whiney whoremongers. The Communist news Network is no longer relevant! Save your breath.

NewWatch   September 11th, 2009 - 11:31 am

Does this surprise anyone that the MSM doesn’t do any fact checking. Maybe actually contact the Coast Guard for comments before running the story? Did they see or hear any shots fired? Idiots.

John   September 11th, 2009 - 11:31 am

Way to go CNN. Funny on that caption in the movie above “Boat challenged Coast Guard in restricted area of Potomac River”, you think they actually confirmed this before they ran with that?

They are training!! Fantastic, keep it up!! Who cares when, where or why … we should all be grateful for their commitment!! That’s what this day is all about, not just the lost loved ones but all who sacrifice themselves for others!!!!!!

Greg   September 11th, 2009 - 11:34 am

Stick with FOX News folks. CNN is a wanna-be.

What a shame to detract from the real events of September 11, 2001 by attempting to insinuate Obama into the mix. He will have his press coverage no matter what the day or occasion.

tally   September 11th, 2009 - 11:36 am

CNN – first to report.
FOX – first to report accurately.

Blame Bush.

bd   September 11th, 2009 - 11:46 am

Is CNN attempting to gin-up sympathy for the ‘One’ that would translate into sympathy for all things Dem, ie; Gov’t takeover of
health-scare, evil right-wing homegrown terrorists, 2010 elections, hmmmmm?

Jacksonian   September 11th, 2009 - 11:50 am

Either the Coast Guard is lying or they are incompetent. Why would you run a training in Washington DC on 9/11 by a bridge that the president was crossing? That is a time and a place where you need vigilance not distractions. Who would schedule a training at a time and a place when the security should be highest. That would be like scheduling a secret service training during one of the president’s speeches. I am not a conspiracy theorist but I am a critical thinker and this just doesn’t make sense.

Ron Mexico   September 11th, 2009 - 11:56 am

W T F, Why would do they do this on 911? Coast Gaurd-Morons, CNN-Morons.

CNN is a SOCIALIST JOKE   September 11th, 2009 - 12:07 pm

Arcy   September 11th, 2009 - 12:13 pm

Uh, lets get this straight. The White House did NOT blame the media – they blamed CNN!

You have to love press secretary Gibbs. When another journalist noted that the Coast Guard was holding a news conference to take questions on the morning’s events, Gibbs jabbed: “Hopefully CNN will go.” hahaha I love that!!!

CNN regularly has its butt handed to them by FOX – then ONLY real news network.

Arcy   September 11th, 2009 - 12:14 pm

You mean to tell me that CNN stopped covering the Michael Jackson story for this?

Muggle   September 11th, 2009 - 12:14 pm

Why is everyone saying they did this on 9/11. The article states they did this on Friday.

Stupid Smasher   September 11th, 2009 - 12:48 pm

Are we really going to believe it was a training exercise? I don’t think that is an acceptable explanation. The government lies!

sbourg   September 11th, 2009 - 12:50 pm

Dateline 9/11/09: CNN has just learned that the man running for President in November 2008 was indeed a highly-incompetent-semi-socialist with strong ties to a quasi-criminal enterprise know as Assn of Community Organizers (ACORN), and this man could be very dangerous to our economy and our freedoms. Late-breaking story. Oops………we just learned 95% of CNN employees already voted for him and this man, apparently, has become the President. More details to follow next year.

Larz… the ONE was in the plane during the fly over of course. No pro photog will shoot on a bad weather day. And the pics released where NOT from a pro camera just a regular camera. Plus windows where blacked out. Yea.. he was in the plane I would suspect, no proof of couse just speculation.

Joey from Dallas, TX   September 11th, 2009 - 1:05 pm

Clearly, the President should apologize once again to the world for this incident and anything else that went wrong this past week.

Libertarian   September 11th, 2009 - 1:07 pm

The Coast Guard and all military branches should be exercising on everyday especially 9-11.
They should also alert the media outlets and city officials before exercising on 9-11.
CNN should be reporting on what looked like an event on 9-11. They should also try to contact
the coast guard before running amoke. Effective communication is a lost art in this country.

Limbaugh Lover   September 11th, 2009 - 1:17 pm

What a crying pitty. CRUSH CORRUPTION CRANK CAPITALISM!!!!!!!!!!!

John L   September 11th, 2009 - 1:19 pm

Like any public service or military, we don’t stop training for holidays,
memorial servicesand sad to say 9/11 either. Not to take away from the memory of
those that lost their lives but the military, police officers, firmen, and
other public servants continue to preform the job as time stops for some. Our motto
is train as you fight, fight as you train. There should be no difference in the
two. Those suggesting it was somehow dumb of the Coast Guard to schedule
training on this day just doesn’t realize that terrorism and crime doesn’t call
in sick or take a day off so we can remember those we lost. Today is exactly the
kind of day to be ready and no better way than conducting training exercises to be
on the ready for anything that may arise.

Commie News Network   September 11th, 2009 - 1:34 pm

Kyra Phillips is on of the real dummies on CNN. They are all super leftwing (especially mimbo Rick Sanchez; it is hard to believe this Cubano “fled” communism), but very few of them are as dumb as Kyra Phillips. She makes you think they meant to spell the c-word with a K.

Addie   September 11th, 2009 - 2:01 pm

And CNN wonders why the number of viewers has plummeted. They jump on a fake story but don’t report real stories like Obama having a self proclaimed communist appointed as a green czar and ACORN in 2 states giving advice to a prostitute on how the cheat taxes and run an illegal business.

CNN wonders why FOX has such great ratings? Perhaps CNN will learn that we the people want to hear the TRUTH and not a fluff piece on Obama or a Coast Card training mission reported as a :threat to the president”

CNN = A pathetic bunch of wannabe reporters

I’m sure that somehow they will find Bush and Cheney are responsible for this.

I love it. CNN is fast to report on an unconfirmed incident, But the have done ZERO reporting on the the ACORN / Prostitution story.

I remember the first Gulf War with Bernard Shaw and others in a hotel in Baghdad just before the “fireworks.” It was exciting, informative and cutting edge to see the moment a war began. Now, today CNN has finally deteriorated into the MSM’s wannabe breaking news by reporting on fireworks as a war. Thank God reall journalist like Fox and Breitbart have come along to report the things the government doesn’t want reported.

What kind of idiots would do this on 911 ? Obviously we are getting even more stupid. I heard someone say “terrorists don’t take a holiday, so we do this kind of thing any day”. That is totally reprehensible, disrespectful, alarmist and an excuse of a police state.

I hope they have the situation room up and running. This just in CNN blames former President Bush for scare.

Susan   September 11th, 2009 - 3:28 pm

It was foolish of the Coast Guard to have these training exercises on 911 during the same time that attacks happened and near the location of one of the attacks…
The whole event seems strange to me…I am not a big fan of CNN but I got to take their side on this one.

CNN is pretty bad, but who the heck decided to have a training exercise on 9/11? That is the moron that should be water-boarded for being so stupid. Jeez, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Really scary who is in charge in this country. The govt does another dumb thing and as usual goes and throws someone else under the bus.

FastFacts   September 11th, 2009 - 4:29 pm

That’s funny, all of a sudden the media has to pick on the military, of course, ‘They are evil war mongers, right’ That is not the problem with this story. It’s the fact that CNN heard this over the radio, and without any investigation, they reported it. Sending the President into panic mode and every American in the US wondering if this was another attack. And the fact that it was a scare on such an important day. I saw the story when it was first reported on http://www.americanparchment.com. Then a few minutes later I looked back and the story had completely changed. The WH was attacking CNN for such a dumb move not to investigate it. Interesting, the only ones to report on this story, when CNN first made the mistake, was international news sources who had to rely on our media. Everyone else started an investigation. CNN should be ashamed of themselves.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   September 11th, 2009 - 4:31 pm

America…it is not the one who gets the news out “first”…it is the one who waits and gets the “truth” out!

For that CNN is not the leader! They find it as hard to tell the truth as Bilderberg Bush-Obama and his Democratzi henchmen in the congress!

Keep trying though…CNN…you will get it right…maybe…one day when you start recognizing the truth!

kmichaels   September 11th, 2009 - 4:59 pm

What kind of idiots dont check their facts first before scaring the people on 911 is the real question.
And the answer to what kind of idiots?
The idiots at CNN that is what kind of idiots.
They admitted that the coast guard had not confirmed their idiotic assumptions.
Then they broadcast it anyway. And they were the only network
broadcasting it. Funny how that works.
CNN really should not be hiring recent ACORN people as news broadcasters.
STUPID they are.

INSENSITIVE IDIOTS IN CHARGE   September 11th, 2009 - 6:45 pm

WHY doesn’t our government (on all levels) UNDERSTAND that people’s nerves are RAW from all the stressors being inflicted upon us, and use some BRAINS in their TIMING of crap like this???? This sounds deliberate, not coincidental or accidental: Just to “keep them (Americands) in line” from the top on down.

WHY ON 9/11?   September 11th, 2009 - 6:47 pm

WHY do this on 9/11, if not to upset people? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY AT ALL?

Stupid Progressives   September 11th, 2009 - 6:52 pm

Hey I know blame the Coast Guard for our stupid mistake. Now that is a professional news organization that should have the public’s trust. Kinda reminds me of the goon President Obama who continues to blame past Presidents for his own inability to be a leader. I also hear froma good source that Obama is a liar.

Bill Blake   September 11th, 2009 - 8:32 pm

Please, the Coast Guard would NEVER plan a training exercise, or improvise one, just moments before the President was to pass over a bridge they were tasked with protecting. “OK, you be the bad boat, and I’m gonna be the Coast Guard and try to stop you.” “But the President of the United States is coming over the bridge and we’re supposed to be watching for terrorists” “Dude don’t worry about it nothing is gonna happen” “OK, cool, it’ll be fun!” Please, why all the lies still? If the government is lying to us about the little stuff, you can be sure they’re lying about the big stuff too. Don’t B.S. the American people anymore, we’ve had enough lies already.
