CNN’s Don Lemon: ‘Is It Preposterous’ to Think a Black Hole Caused Flight 370 to Go Missing?

CNN’s Don Lemon: ‘Is It Preposterous’ to Think a Black Hole Caused Flight 370 to Go Missing?: On the off chance that Flight 370 was swallowed up by a black hole at least it won’t be alone, it will have Mr. Lemon’s ratings to keep it company.

  • And to answer the headline question: YES its preposterous to think a plane was sucked up into a black hole. Idiot. I'm not an astrophysicist by a long shot and even I know that!

  • No dipshit, the plane got swallowed by the giant sucking sound coming from the Atlanta GA offices of CNN.

  • Anyone check that area between his ears? It's a huge vacuum in there and he is black…. That plane could be flying around in there.

  • There's illiteracy. We all know what that is, along with its cousin, functional illiteracy.

    Then there's innumeracy. That's illiteracy in all number matters. We see all sorts of examples of that every time another group with an agenda spews out some statistics and the news people obligingly regurgitate them (as long as the numbers agree with their preconcieved notions)

    I don't recall, but I definitely did hear the expression that describes scientific illiteracy. Maybe someone can help me out.

    So this idiot, whose entire understanding of science comes from watching some sci-fi movies, actually entertains this notion, and the scientifically illiterate viewers will swallow this crap.

    I fully expect conspiracy-freak/alarmist type websites to be appearing with all sorts of "explanations" that "yep, the black holes are out there". Or maybe it will be "expect more black holes to be swallowing up planes unless we get this climate change under control. We need a carbon tax NOW!"

    Put this one together with a previous post on this blog - the LA councilmen investigating fracking as the cause of an earthquake.

    If the journalists had any semblance of a desire for truth, instead of sensationalism and leftie agendas, they's find people who really know what the hell is going on, and the next day's papers/news websites would let everyone know exactly what kind of morons these people are.

    • "Innumeracy." I thought you made that up, but you didn't: "unfamiliar with mathematical concepts and methods; unable to use mathematics." How come I didn't know that word? I wrote a column about liberals and numbers and I didn't even know there was a word for it:

      Liberals and numbers

  • The "logic" of an elite journOlist:
    Plane disappearing: yeah, maybe a distant astronomical body instead of humans
    Climate change: GOTTA BE HUMANS, NO WAY it could be this very hot, nearby astronomical body, you deniers

    THIS is CNN.

  • Is it preposterous to think there's any intelligence between Don Lemon's ears, or is that just a small black hole?

  • A reward? People are asking for a reward if they know where te plane is? It crashed, probably in the ocean.

  • I don't know, I think it might be the same black hole that swallowed all the viewers of CNN and BSNBC.
