Christian Janitor Died Saving Muslim Students

Written by The Sarcasmist on November 12, 2009 - Comments (9)

More Provocation Than Any Other Cable News NetworkHoly Crap! It’s a good thing CNN was not trying to capitalize on the Fort Hood Shooting, or there would be outrage.

This has got to be one of my favorite headlines of all time. They might as well have expanded the headline to read:

Christian Janitor Died Saving Muslim Students & Muslim Doctor Killed Christian Soldiers

But I guess they wanted to use at least a little bit of subtlety in their slant.

Barely three weeks ago, this quiet place of learning was the scene of a nightmare. On October 20, two suicide bombers launched near simultaneous attacks on both the men’s and women’s side of the campus. (CNN)

Dear CNN,
You may want to report on things as they happen. This story is from October 20th. But I suppose such a headline would not have been as eye-catching before the Fort Hood shooting. Good job!

  1. Who bought the movie rights? The director/producer better be someone awesomely subtle and respectful like Jerry Bruckheimer.

  2. l guess it`s true…no good deed goes unpunished. What was he thinking?

  3. Wow. That’s totally not obnoxious at all…

  4. Because in order to join the US army you must be Christian.

    Fail blog is fail.

  5. is that true? that you have to be christian to join the us army? i thought it was illegal to do that?

  6. I was poking at the fact that the author said “Christian soldiers” when it is in high probability that some were not in Christian.

  7. This article is pretty genius. Good catch Sarcasmist. I think it may have gone over a few people’s heads as well…
