Unfortunate Closed-Captioning Cockup of the Day: Reluctant Obituary Edition

CNN's tribute to the late Peter Jennings (much-mourned at hearing/loss) included a charming still photo of the 'Big 3' anchors paying tribute to Walter Cronkite, with this caption:

"HE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED ALONG WITH THE OTHER GIANTS IN HIS FIELD, TOM BROKAW, DAN RATHER AND THE GREAT WALTER CRONKITE, AT A 2002 TRIBUTE FOR CRONKITE AT THE WALDORF HYSTERIA HOTEL".

From the stories they tell, one imagines Jennings would have been mildly amused.
