How Low Can We Go?

When I shared this cartoon last night, it was intended as a joke; I didn’t actually expect a news network to go there.

On Thursday night, HLN invited a psychic to discuss what she think may have been the fate of the lost airliner and the 239 souls that were on board that plane.

“I am all for wanting to believe in mysticism and psychics,” HLN host Jenny Hutt began, “but I’m, eh, I don’t know.”

I don’t know if I believe in this but, uh, my producer says we’re gonna go with it.

I’m embarrassed for everyone involved in this.

Then again, CNN’s Don Lemon speculated that a black hole may have swallowed the plane. If you know anything at all about black holes, which Don Lemon apparently doesn’t, you’d know that HLN’s psychic angle is actually more plausible.
