CNN Apologizes For Playing Song Titled ‘Stupid Girls’ Ahead of Sarah Palin Segment

CNN has apologized for what it says “was a poor choice” of music to accompany a news story.

The story was about Fox News contributor and former GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin, who was visiting a local Chik-Fil-A fast food restaurant. The song was “Stupid Girls,” by Pink. Some viewers noticed the correlation, and complained vocally.

The Hollywood Reporter received a statement from CNN apologizing for the incident, which it says was not intentional.

“The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story,” a CNN spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter. “We regret any perception that they were planned together.”

Introducing the segment after the intro, CNN Sunday Morning anchor Randy Kaye said, “Sarah Palin is apparently hungry for chicken and controversy.”
