CNN is spending time covering the tragic situation surrounding Lamar Odom but it seems that the network doesn’t even know what Odom actually looks like, given this graphic of LaMarcus Aldridge that the network prominently displayed during a segment on Odom’s condition.
“Quick: we need a pic of Lamar Odom.”
“Well, this guy’s name is L-A-M-A-R—“

Naturally, people were not pleased with the incredible blunder by the “esteemed” news station.

Can we please show some respect @CNN, how hard is to find an accurate picture. It literally takes 2 seconds. https://t.co/6O4Hkj1bMY

CNN's incompetence is off the charts since the debate ended Tuesday.

CNN: More evidence that every 24-hour news channel is pretty much worthless.
