Nevertheless, given the apparent intelligence of some CNN newscasters
(or perhaps their regular viewers) I would not be overly surprised to
hear that this one slipped through.

One of them remarked---after reporting that a distraught and deranged
deputy sheriff had tried three times to commit suicide by shooting
himself in the head---that it was the third shot that was fatal. That
was the only hour of CNN I have seen in many years, but I won't be
watching again any time soon.
