Malala Yousafzai: Obama Should Visit Syrian Border to See Suffering Up Close

When Malala Yousafzai met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office last October, she boldly told him that drone strikes are “fueling terrorism” in her home country of Pakistan. Today, during a live appearance via satellite from the Jordanian-Syrian border on CNN, the 16-year-old activist had another message for the president: Come here and see the Syrian refugees’ “suffering” for yourself.

“I would request that the president go to the Jordinian-Syrian border, or go to the border of Lebanon and Syria, and see how these people are suffering,” Yousafzai said when Wolf Blitzer asked her what more she thinks Obama should do about the civil war in Syria. “When he will look at it, he will feel it. And then he will understand what it happening here.”

Yousafzai advocated for peace in Syria, not only when it comes to the Syrian government but also from the various opposition groups fighting against them. “Put your guns down, talk through peace,” she said, adding that she believes it’s always better to choose peace over war.

I Should Kill That Motherf*cker: CNN Airs Uncensored Trial Testimony, Cooper Apologizes

Michael Dunn is currently on trial for fatally shooting a black teenager who was playing loud music, and during his testimony (in which he invoked a stand-your-ground defense), he dropped a few profanities to recount exactly what he heard in the moment. And CNN ended up airing those words without filtering them through a censor first. Whoops…

During his testimony, Dunn said, “I should kill that motherf*cker” and “this sh*t’s going down now,” two phrases he said he heard the night in question. Both soundbites were included in the CNN report on the trial, but were not bleeped out.

Immediately after the full CNN segment wrapped, Anderson Cooper took to Twitter to apologize.

In a totally unrelated story, last night CNN aired the video of a dead baby giraffe being eaten by lions.
