Earlier today The Business Insider reported that CNN may have acquired the massively popular CNNBrk Twitter account, which is currently in a heated race with Ashton Kutcher to attain 1 million followers. Thing is, up until recently CNN didn’t actually own that account, which made the story’s coverage on the cable network over the last few days all the more bizarre.

I just got off the phone with James Cox (whose personal Twitter account is here, who created and has maintained the account. He confirms that CNN has in fact acquired CNNbrk. More details shortly.
