Oh come on now. President Donald Trump is on a diplomatic mission to further friendly relations with France and President Emmanuel Macron — and CNN is busy bungling it up.
Get this — a gradeschool mistake: A band played the U.S. National Anthem at the same time Trump met with Macron, in the leadup to Bastille Day celebrations. And what did CNN’s illustrious on-air anchor announce?
This: “Let’s just listen in to the French National Anthem for just a moment.”
No wonder the American people have little-to-no respect for the media. And now France is clued in on the cluelessness of U.S. journalists as well.
Thanks, Poppy Harlow with your exclusive Blake School education and prestigious Columbia University training and pedigreed CNN title. Thanks a lot for making America look stupid.
It took some time for Harlow to correct the error.
Whispers could be heard in the background of her broadcast, and shortly after, Harlow issued a correction.
But too little, too late. The mistake played on the international scale like a mocking of America.
Guess CNN got bit a little too hard by the Fake News bug — can’t even think clearly enough to recognize the U.S. National Anthem and differentiate it from another country’s.

she needs Mark Dice
Maybe they are so busy cooking up fake stories they did not have time to get some basic facts right !
The Left/liberal Pro-islam Loons even allow women/Girls to be assaulted, molested, gang raped , murdered http://bit.ly/2tTQW4b
..and its all Halal (approved) as per Allah ! Of course reading about
that article and the Islamic verses is putting extra scrutiny on that
religion !
AND, the pres is giving the proper SALUTE!! – give LSM and the comm new(?) network a double dip of stupid –
For a fake news company, employees don’t need to be so smart.
.Thesed morons don’t know our national anthem (since 1031, that is) whist I can sing all four stanzas of the “Star Spangled Banner (The defense of Ft. McHenery)”. I sang this at a campfire type rally
When it comes to being stupid, it goes to cnn. Their comedians are a disgrace to the American eduction system, no one can deliberately be as consistently stupid as lame stream media barkers. They have dedicated idiots as script writers.
Most likely a slip of the tongue but these people are paid very large salaries NOT to make such mistakes.
I think these female news anchors are chosen more for their beauty than anything else, and of course ability to read! That does not apply to Quest of course. CNN means Continuous Non News
Agreed. She is a graduate of Columbia and doesn’t know “The Star Spangled Banner” from “La Marseilles” yet still thinks sex will clear her complexion.
Q: What are the qualifications to work at CNN?
A: There aren’t any.
False. You must have been dropped on you head before you were two years old.
Poppy Harlow is an upper class twit.
It’s fake news again.
It’s possible that she wasn’t able to hear the background noise, including the two anthems, so she would have been relying on cue cards or electronic notes to guide her presentation. Even if that is the case, normal protocol is to play the guest’s National Anthem first, then the host nation’s. So, it’s still a CNN screw-up.
This sounds like a joke. What sort of idiots do CNN and other lame stream media hire? These people are supposed to know what they’re talking about. They aren’t smart like they’d love us to believe.
