“CBS Evening News” accidentally aired a picture of former Democratic Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings during a segment on Democratic Georgia Rep. John Lewis’ cancer diagnosis Monday.CBS chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett was filling in for anchor Norah O’Donnell Monday evening and began to talk about Lewis’ recent health announcement. The Georgia congressman said Dec. 29 that he had been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer.Instead of airing a photo of Lewis, 79, during the segment, CBS accidentally showed a photo of Cummings, who died in October. The network also identified Cummings, 68, as Lewis underneath the picture.

Is CBS saying 'they all look alike'? Seems so.

Did they ask him if he had a lot of fun making that superbowl commercial? No wait, that was Samuel L Fishburne

They are almost indistinguishable in appearance and mental defect.

My first though also.
They all look alike (frowning, snarling, growling, hissing, angry, angry, angry)

At least they didn't use a picture of Maya Angelou.

To be honest, when the announcement about Lewis's condition hit the news, I asked my wife "didn't he die a few months ago...?" I should pay better attention but when it comes to the Black Congressional Caucus, I just don't care...

In the PC tyranny of CBS, someone might need to be sacrificed and be fired for what is a very human and understandable faux pas. You know, this all started out with a good idea, judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. But like all things infected by the Left, we have (over) reached to a point which future generations (assuming we regain our sanity) will look back upon as crazed obsessiveness with race.

And I am supposed to feel what? How sorry were the CBS clowns and the dingbats in Congress when our military members were killed in the war? Impeach every fool un the House!!

If Maxine Waters removed her wig, CBS Evening News would still mistaken her for Rep. Elijah Cummings.

Correction #11 - She'd be mistaken for Aunt Esther from "Sanford and Son".

It really is inexcusable that a major network would make such an error. Major news networks laud themselves as epitomes of truth and accuracy - not this time....

FTA - CBS News is not the first to mix up the two congressmen. Fox News apologized in June for showing a picture of Lewis identified as Cummings.

See BS will eventually blame a lowly intern for the mixup. It's an easy mistake to make. The picture of Cummings says Elijah Cummings and the picture of John Lewis says John Lewis. If the interns could read this wouldn't have happened. Guess being able to read is not a require for a See BS intern.

It was an honest mistake but you can't let CBS slide since they are to epitome of PC they drop on us lowly minions.
It doesn't make any difference since one looks like the other but one is dead they are/were both low IQ buffoons and idiots.
