Just for fun, a clip from both CNN and Fox News one-on-one, exhibiting how these… news stations sometimes fall short of complete clear, clean, and straight journalism. You come for the news right, not screaming, vaguely racist jokes, and an apparent inability to properly run a video camera.

[ITR is not endorsing either station, we don't even watch the news obviously, preferring to be oblivious]

Check out the videos after the jump:

Fox News

In this clip, the newsanchor spars with a leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, creaters of forward thinking progressive websites like GodHatesFags.com and GodHatesAmerica.com. The members of the WBC have a penchant for protesting the funerals of celebrities, soliders, and other people when they think they will get the media attention. This basically turns into a shouting match of course, between the newsanchor and what appears to be a seventeenth century bible thumping witch (Shirely Phelps Roper)?

CNN

This is a pretty tame, and blessfully quiet one compared to the FOX News shouting match. That’s because there is no guest here, just the CNN anchors having a good time, laughing, chuckling, and being more than a little awkward. I’m not offended or outraged at all by this, but it’s good to see they are so color blind!

Who wins?

Bonus Videos (aka Round 2):

CNN News cuts early to President, provides fodder for conspiracy theorists.

The crazy WBC hag on Fox News again, raises one major question: Why?

The winner? It’s unclear… because whoever wins loses.
