CNN’s Tony Harris On ‘Facebook Holdouts’: “Count Me In”

“This whole segment here is just to annoy me,” said CNN anchor Tony Harris this morning, as he read the intro to a story on ‘Facebook Holdouts’.

“‘To my Facebook fans and blog followers, I’m so glad you jumped onboard. I love hearing from you’,” Harris continued. “That was the lead that was written for me to read, to get to the Christine Romans piece that you are about to see.

“Here’s the thing, I don’t know how to log on to the Facebook page that was set up by me by our show team. The idea that people I don’t know want to friend me is illogical. Twitter feels stalkerish to me…Christine’s story is titled, ‘Facebook Holdouts’. Well count me in!”
