False Steve Jobs Report Not CNN's Fault
October 4, 2008 | Oakland, California | Vetting explained
Just two days ago an iReporters created a video that reported
news that Apple CEO Steve Jobs had a heart attack. The result was a
drop in Apple's stock price before the iReport team got wind of the
news that the video's report was false.
They took it down 20 minutes later.
For
some reason, some want to blame CNN for this situation. CNN's not at
fault because the video was never tagged for official use by CNN.
