Bitching because CNN chose to report in English instead of Arabic. Some people just live to bitch.

I dont think it's a big deal at all CNN reported it the way they did. It's a silly thing to be upset over. Liberals trying to act like republicans are the party of faux outrage is pretty dang funny, though.

What I find interesting is that normally journalists, especially on CNN, bend over backwards to use native language and pronunciation.

Except in this case. How odd.

What’s odd about it? What do you think CNN’s motive is by providing an English translation? Do you feel ridiculous right now?

I don't know. You tell me. Why deviate from their standard reporting practices in this case?
