This morning, President Obama announced that U.S. drone strikes on an Al Qaeda compound in Afghanistan killed two hostages — one American and one Italian.  His remarks were televised on several cable channels including CNN.  At 10:30 am, CNN concluded their “Breaking News” coverage of the announcement and cut to this commercial for aircraft and “unmanned systems” manufacturer Northrup Grummon:
