CNN has apologized for one of several errors in its reporting of Tuesday morning’s brutal terrorist attack in Jerusalem.

In one particularly jarring error, the headline presented for the story broadcast live to tens of millions of viewers read: “Israeli… Police Shot, Killed 2 Palestinians.” The headline sparked outrage, with one prominent Israeli activist calling for the CNN reporter responsible to have his press credentials removed.

Several hours and countless angry responses later, the international news corporation finally apologized.

“As CNN updated its reporting on the terrorist attack on the synagogue in Jerusalem earlier today, our coverage did not immediately reflect the fact that the two Palestinians killed were the attackers. We erred and regret the mistake,” said a statement. …

Ah, the word “regret” instead of “apologize for”.

[Mears]

Tweaking the news to further it’s agenda.

Gee,I wonder why CNN is in trouble.

Too little too late?
It already sank into the liberal viewers mush bucket.

Clearly a use of “disproportionate force” by the Israelis. I’m sure the U.N. Human Rights Commission will be investigating the Jews for the 1,000th time.

You know, more people watch The Weather Channel than CNN or MSLSD.

Makes sense to me. TWC will at least tell you it is raining and not be peeing down your leg.

That was NO mistake. If that is CNN’s standard, just how low is their bar?

Well, some say that CNN passes out candy every time an American gets beheaded.

[Ditto]

We erred and regret the mistake,” ...

I doubt the accuracy of that statement also.

[Liberty Valance]

Not sure if cnn is merely schilling for the islamofascists or are indeed islamofascists themselves.

We should have said, “Israeli… Police Shot, Killed 2 Unarmed Palestinians.”
