Oddly enough, Jon Stewart of The Daily Show managed to turn this into satiric fodder:

A choice quote: "CNN wants you to spare them what is arguably the most arduous part of what they do: Reporting!"

CNN is delighted with the publicity. You can watch the same clip on its website. Better quality too. :) (H/T to Stacy)
