Wikipedia scoops CNN

Here’s one that’ll just leave you wondering. By now, most of you know that Dr. D. James Kennedy, pastor and founder of Coral Ridge Ministries, passed away early this morning. The story was first reported this morning, but as of this writing, it’s not on CNN.com. What’s even more surprising is that Dr. Kennedy’s Wikipedia page has already been updated, before CNN has even reported his death.

This speaks volumes about the new flow of information in our culture.

As of 8:14 PM central time, it’s still not on their website. They obviously don’t consider it newsworthy. THAT says a lot, too.
