[UPDATE, August 9, 2012] CNN has apologized to HATEBREED after publishing an article which listed the band as one of “white power” stupid bands. The TV station eventually removed their name from the list and issued the following note: “A previous version of this commentary incorrectly included the band HATEBREED in a list of white power bands. HATEBREED is a self-described ‘hardcore metal’ band. CNN regrets the error.”
