CNN tries to outdo Fox News in the copyedit #FAIL game. Libyans, Egyptians, heck, it’s all the same, right?

What constitutes breaking news seems to have changed ever so slightly over the last 20 years.

“The Zimbabwean was started in 2005 by exiled Zimbabwean journalists and friends from around the world who came together to publish an independent weekly tabloid free from government interference and censorship to let Zimbabweans know what was really going on in their country.”

“By publishing outside the country they managed to escape the draconian anti-press freedom laws. Today The Zimbabwean is widely distributed inside Zimbabwe as well as throughout South Africa, Botswana and Namibia and in the UK, and is available in 52 countries as a download via Newspaper Direct. Most importantly, they continue to provide ordinary Zimbabweans with accurate news, a vital voice in the midst of the misinformation and hate speech disseminated by ZANU PF’s State-controlled propaganda machine.”

“And herein lies the problem. Not content with having hounded these brave journalists out of the country and forcing them to produce their paper elsewhere, the Mugabe regime slapped an import ‘luxury’ duty of over 55% on the paper. Last year Mugabe’s thugs hijacked and destroyed The Zimbabwean’s cross-border delivery vehicle, beating up their South African driver and torching the vehicle and its load. ” - The World’s First Trillion Dollar Advertising Campaign
