Yesterday (Friday) this was posted on media bistro:

QUOTE
"CNN International's CNN Today program, airing at midnight Eastern, led with the graphic 'Bush Resigns.' Of course, they meant 'Blair Resigns.' Freudian slip on the part of a network accused of anti-Americanism?"


Later this was followed up with this image:

And this message:
QUOTE
This appeared on screen for 12 seconds. (Two seconds before, President Bush had appeared on screen, but the chyron accurately said "Pressure over Iraq.")

Regarding the CNN typo/error, it happens all the time.

I see words misspelled now and then on CNN.. and then a few seconds later, an edited title/text pops back up like nothing happened.

This isn't the first time.
