CNN photo shenanigans

[Hatuey]

It takes a certain level of intelligence to believe:

A) That something like this would happen without it being picked up by anybody other than some obscure blog.
B) That nobody from CNN's hierarchy would come forward to address this image and its origin.
C) That Snopes would take the effort to address the image, point out a culprit, and dismiss the central claim.

... and then spend 20 pages arguing that a piece of information, considered to be fake across the board (and that includes CNN, Snopes, DP posters, and even people at CTH) has not been completely proven to be fake. Yep, it's definitely a sign of a special kind of intelligence.

You can not prove that CNN didn't use the first image.

This is a logical fallacy, you cannot prove a negative. What do I win?K

D'oh!
iLOL
No pbrauer.
1. That is a statement of fact. He can not prove that CNN didn't use it and no one is asking that he prove anything.
2. Your argument of, "You cannot prove a negative" is false logic, and as such, is a fallacy, and really just shows you should quite arguing.

That is hilarious.
Your ABC's of what you assume another believes are as absurd as they are irrelevant to the fact that Snopes has not proven it false.
And then you close with an appeal to the numbers (a logical fallacy) as if it is a valid argument. iLOL It isn't.

You must have been talking about your own intelligence when you made your comment, because you certainly entangled it with ignorance and absurdity.

iLOL
And this, "has not been completely proven" (D'oh!), was absolutely hilarious.

Ha, ha, ha!
