CNN's Ashleigh Banfield: Jerusalem 'Is Not The Capital' of Israel (Talk about Ignorance)

Why don't America's media members want to acknowledge Jerusalem as being the capital of Israel?

On CNN Newsroom Friday, Ashleigh Banfield actually said, "Rockets fired at Jerusalem. It is not the capital at this point, but it is the disputed center of the universe so to speak when it comes to Israel" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CNN's Ashleigh Banfield: Jerusalem 'Is Not The Capital' of Israel

ASHLEIGH BANFIELD: Soon on this program we're going to be able to have a conversation with the Mayor of Jerusalem. We are working that interview up for you live. Again, the extraordinary development here: rockets fired at Jerusalem. It is not the capital at this point, but it is the disputed center of the universe so to speak when it comes to Israel. And for the first time since the 1970s, rockets now fired at that major city just two hours drive away from Tel Aviv where they have been enduring several days now of this. And the air raid sirens are now going off in both of these cities. So this continues, and we will stay on it throughout this entire hour.

Jerusalem "is not the capital at this point?"

What is, Ashleigh?

Of course, Banfield wasn't the only media member having problems with her nations' capitals Friday.

As Politico reported, the Associated Press also seemed Jerusalem-challenged.

Must be something in the water.

She used to be an anchor for the local FOX (liberal broadcast network) station in Dallas-FW. She was a dummy then, but more or less harmless.

Not sure why this is a Newsbuster item. The ‘Jerusalem Embassy Act’ was passed in 1995 when the GOP controlled both the House and Senate.

Clinton, GW Bush and Obama agree that this was an infringement of executive power over foreign policy and have blocked its implementation. And Romney was just lying when he said he would implement it, like Bush and Obama lied when they were campaigning before they held office.

As part of the government-controlled media, Banwell is just following orders.

If I recall correctly, just a couple of months ago, the press could not get Obama’s press secretary to confirm that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel.

Carney never heard of Google ...

That POS was fired from, iirc, MSNBC? for being an outrageous anti American liar.

Way back when, when the Pali’s captured those Israeli cops, tortured them to death, then shoved them out of third story windows? The crowd dancing in the street chanting something in their stone age jibberish...

Banfield was asked what they were chanting, since she’s “native” level fluent in that filth. She said, after cocking her head to the side and putting a smarmy smile on her face “oh, they’re just happy.”

Later, it was translated by someone outside the news outfit and verified by another translator service. The chant had been “into the sea, into the sea, we will drive the Jews into the sea”.

During the Iraq war, that same POS sold herself as a speaker and did the national tour claiming that every time a US service person fired their weapon, an innocent civilian was murdered in cold blood.

She got so damned bad with her twisted shit that she actually got fired by other knee jerk anti-Americans.
