John Oliver rips CNN after they mistake flag covered with sex toys for ISIS flag

CNN recently reported on live TV that they discovered an ISIS banner at a gay pride parade, but it turns out they only saw “dildos and butt plugs.”

As John Oliver put it, “For more than seven spectacular minutes, CNN had it onscreen — even calling one of their ‘terrorism experts’ to try and figure out why ISIS might be marching with the gay community through London, which did seem surprising.”

Oliver commented that CNN hadn’t addressed the mistake,“Probably because it would be too embarrassing to have a professional journalist say, ‘I’m sorry. Despite working at CNN, it seems I don’t know what a dildo looks like.’”
