From a CNN piece discussing the Trump travel ban in Q&A format:
How big is the backlash?
It’s global. Hundreds showed up at airports across the country…
Hundreds… across the whole USA…
Personally, I’d say that if it’s fewer than the number of Americans who visit a shooting range every day, it’s not something we need to worry about.
Actually that’s just regular travelers who finally got through security.
When you consider that more people stuffed a Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Pro Bowl, a game no football fan really cares about, it pretty much tells you all that you need to know.
Hundreds (plural) showed up to protest? That may, by most accounts, be more people than were detained by the order.
Is it just me, or should a “respected” news organization like CNN know the difference between “global” and “across the country”?
They do. I took the quote out of context some…
As they do all the time, Ironic or iconic?
