Its Day #5 in #CNNfail and #IranElection and its interesting to see the Social WEdia story unfolding.
Turns out the video clip of Rick Sanchez addressing #CNNfail live on CNN Sunday afternoon (without actually mentioning the #CNNfail tag by name mind you) has had over 22,000 views on youtube at this time:
On Tuesday there was an intense discussion at the @140conf Twitter conference between Ann Curry from MSNBC and RickSanchezCNN about the whole #CNNfail issue. Rick Sanchez continued to defend CNN. Although there may be more to the story that Rick didn’t tell his viewers.
Today, CNN continually aired the story about how President Obama killed a fly during an interview. The video played for millions to see while retweets of an article asking if Twitter was the CNN of the NEW Media Generation was read by 1000s of people.
I’m starting to think that CNN is just hoping all this #CNNfail drama will just blow over and be forgotten. But I dont think so. Social WEdia is not only a form of collective communication but also collective intelligence. WE all are getting smarter by sharing information in real-time without filters. It’s the rise of Social WEdia.
Now that #CNNfail is part of the Social WEdia movement CNN’s world will never be the same.
