N-Word Watch: CNN

Who called CNN? If you did, you were close: they played a song with the word in a story involving an able-bodied 103 black woman. However, this wasn't a pundit or expert or political bobble-head, it was a song. At worst you can accuse the sound/music guy or the producer.

But this does put CNN in the running as the network that will air someone using that word live.
