I’m fairly sure this is verbatim. I was taking notes quickly as it aired…
I have to admit, I didn’t see the news clip when it originally aired, because, like most reasonably intelligent and educated adults, I don’t watch cable TV news in exactly that way that I don’t consult squirrel entrails.
But after a couple of days of CNN being offended at the idea that people were offended by their reporting, I fired up the youtube and watched the clip like god intended and was astounded at how much of the dialogue of this comic strip I DIDN’T make up. What was going through their minds?
When the bar drunk throws up on your shoes again, the solution is to stop going near him. Why would ANYONE watch cable TV news?
Ty the Guy OUT!

It seems like everyone in cable gets a comic book, but the honour has so far eluded CNN.
I wonder if that stings?

Maybe someone will come up with “The Flying Fists of Anderson Cooper” soon. Or “Rachel Maddow: Man of Mystery”.
Oh my God…Oh my God…!
For real…?
In Finland, you only find conversations like that (even if you exaggerated it) from comedies!
Messed up, man…
Seriously, for real…!?
The first four panels are pretty well direct quotes. The two reporters spent all their time focusing on the “lost careers” of the these two football stars. The three panels after that are my bits, but then, that last panel, about them being convicted of “essentially rape” and the last line “tragic” are both real as well. It’s ghastly.
