CNN cites Fark to make case that we're in WWIII.

FARK.com: (2185611) CNN cites Fark to make case that we're in WWIII. Manages to not mention the URL of course.

This one is weird for a couple reasons. First, because it's an echo chamber effect. Newt Gingrich thinks Republicans should run on a "World War III" platform. Second,t he usual suspects concur (o.k. that's not weird, they always stick to the RNC playbook). And thrid, CNN cites freakin' Fark as more evidence that we are in a World War. Fark. I mean, it's Fark. Just read that thread for how insane this is.

Anyway, as I mentioned on QP back in 2004, the media paradigm has already shifted away from TV (see this evidence), so I guess it's not surprising they have to mine the Net for content. Weird, but not surprising.
