Blurb quoting white supremacist leader ‘was poor judgment and we very much regret it and apologize’
CNN apologized for a banner flashed onscreen during a segment on white supremacist groups which read, “Alt-right founder questions whether Jews are people.”
The segment was aired Monday on “The Lead,” which was being guest-hosted by Jim Sciutto.
On Tuesday, CNN said in a statement concerning the banner, known as a chyron: “It was poor judgment and we very much regret it and apologize.”
The Monday segment concerned statements made over the weekend by Richard Spencer at an event of his white supremacist think tank National Policy Institute. Spencer suggested that the news media had been critical of presidential candidate Donald Trump in order to protect Jewish interests. “One wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golem,” Spencer said.

CNN accidentally outs their antisemitism.
It’s not what he said. He was not referring to Jews, specifically, but to libtards. He used the phrase “self-hatred,” but Jews hardly have a monopoly on that.
That’s my understanding of the statement as well.
No, they are not. The whole exercise was to put the chyron on the screen and broadcast to their viewers "Alt-Right = anti-Semitism." They accomplished it. That they apologized later is irrelevant because it won't be seen by nearly as many as the first statement. Expect a lot of these "mistakes."
Keep your fake apology, you liars.
Is’t it amazing that CNN, run by a Jew (Jeff Zucker) would allow this sort of thing to happen. My guess is that Zucker is about as “Jewish” as is George Soros (who as a young Jew in Germany hid his identity, turned in his fellow Jews to the Nazis, then stole their belongings). It continues to amaze me how most Jews vote contrary to their basic religious tenets. Today’s secular progressive Jews are seemingly, as much a religious cult as are the Muslims. But then with the possible exception of the Christian Right, pretty much all so-called “churches” are also religious cults in my opinion. No wonder God looks the other way.
Similar to MSNBC’s apology for inserting an extra G into Niger Innis’s first name — phony as can be.
This is the person Brietbart, under Bannon's leadership, identified as the leading "thinker" of the alt-right, and Bannon proudly boasts of making Breitbart into "a platform for the alt-right."
They got their message out, and know it. Mission accomplished. An “apology” won’t change that.
The “alt right” is an invention of the left.
It’s like setting in a jury box and having the judge telling you to ignore the testimony that you’ve just heard. It can’t be undone.
I resent that!....................B^)
Islam calls them pigs and monkeys. CNN loves Islam.
I’m not at all comfortable with the nazi salutes.

I’m not either, nor with Richard Spencer. Don’t much like his former employers either. But none of it reflects on Breitbart or Bannon.
From the Breitbart article (that Milo co-wrote):
“The media empire of the modern-day alternative right coalesced around Richard Spencer during his editorship of Taki’s Magazine. In 2010, Spencer founded AlternativeRight.com, which would become a center of alt-right thought.”
If that is so - then I will denounce the alt right/white supremacy movement headed by Spencer.
I will not agree with what the MSM defines the alt right AS, though ;)
Not really, they have just decided to seize on it and define it according to their own fantasies.
