Update: CNN Changes Name of Zakaria Video to Soften ‘Advising’ Position

In our story earlier this morning on Fareed Zakaria backpedaling from his former discussion on “advising” President Obama, we pointed out that even CNN titled its video as “Obama getting advice from Fareed Zakaria.” We hinted that that title might not stay for long. Guess what? We were right.

Sometime Sunday afternoon the title was changed. Here’s the new one:

Update: CNN Changes Name of Zakaria Video to Soften Advising Position

That’s much different from the old title:

Update: CNN Changes Name of Zakaria Video to Soften Advising PositionEarlier today, we asked CNN to clarify why it characterized Zakaria as “advising” the president in its former video title if that, in fact, wasn’t what Zakaria was doing (as he now claims).

We never received a direct response.

    Andrew Breitbart stated the next election is not going to be against Barack obama…..he already lost.
    The next election will be against the mainstream media…..trying to drag obamas political corpse across the finish line.

    The Communist News Network (CNN) got Obama elected, they have every right to continue to advise their left wing Marxist savior… they don’t need to hide it.

    Sad to say, but there are some Americans that will never understand the truth. We could stand on a mountain top and shout but then we would be called the crazy ones, brought down and tucked away in a place of their choice. Just ask some of the heroes in the military of past wars, the government and their media are always right, even if they give the military the medals. A lie is not a lie unless you can make someone believe it isn’t the truth.

    Lie ju jour? It’s more lie du moment! Every time Obama opens his mouth he lies. The closest he ever comes to the truth is a half-truth designed to conceal some rotten thing he is doing. This constant whipping up of “crises” to cover up the sneaky stuff they are doing in the dead of night and behind closed doors is getting really old.

    This is the first time I have ever lost sleep wondering what my government was up to while I was trying to sleep–but with Obama and his nefarious Communist and Muslim cronies, that is a constant concern! We certainly cannot depend upon the sold-out, biased media to tell us what they are doing!

      How very true! Every time the fool slips off his leash and escapes from his handlers long enough to ad-lib without a teleprompter, he digs a hole he has to backpedal frantically to climb out of. I figured out a long time ago that he was not nearly as smart as we were being led to believe he is. “Professor of Constitutional Law”? He doesn’t even know what the Constitution IS, much less what is in it! Not only is he not as smart as advertised–he is not smart AT ALL. In fact, he is just a puppet, and George Soros–or somebody like him– is pulling his strings.

      Remember when reporters kept trying to ask him about Libya and he was ducking them? “Oh, no time to talk about Lybya. Nooooo — got basketball games to coach and other important stuff. No time! No time!” He was beginning to sound like the white rabbit of Alice in Wonderland.

      I figured that was because his ‘masters’ had not yet told him what to say or do about Libya, and he did not DARE ad-lib on that one, so he just ran away from everybody until he could get his orders. Poor little fool–wants so badly to look presidential, but he’s just not smart enough.And that being the case, how STOOPID do his followers/admirers have to be, to keep admiring and following this clown?
