From mistaking the Har Nof synagogue where Tuesday's terror attack took place for a mosque, to deleting references to Palestinian perpetrators, some of the international media continued to report on the events in Israel in an eyebrow-raising manner on Tuesday.
The website of British newspaper The Guardian ran a story about the attack from Reuters. The wire dispatch the agency sent included the headline 'Palestinians kill four in Jerusalem synagogue attack' and led with the sentence: ''Two Palestinians armed with a meat cleaver and a gun killed four people in a Jerusalem synagogue on Tuesday before being shot dead by police…." However The Guardian changed their headline to "Four worshippers killed in attack on Jerusalem synagogue" and in their lead, they also excised any reference to Palestinians, publishing: "Two men armed with axes, knives and a pistol have killed four Israelis and wounded several others in a Jerusalem synagogue …"
In another questionable slant on its coverage, CBC headline their report on the attack with: "Jerusalem police fatally shoot 2 after apparent synagogue attack."
In a reporting gaffe, CNN superimposed their preliminary coverage of the terror attack with the headline: "Deadly attack on Jerusalem mosque."

No gaffe... probably some islamic prayer was uttered 10 or 15 years ago. And, we all know, that once a property has anything to do with islam, it is islamic. Forever.
As it now is in DC with the National Cathedral.

Often hard to discern between shoddy reporting and sinister ill-intent. There is so much of both in the media these days... Calling these organizations ‘news outlets’ is like calling MacDonald’s parfaits healthy food.....
Why should CNN expect there to be synagog’s in Jerusalem? Everyone knows its a Moslem holy city and therefore should not expect to find any synagogs there! (sarcasm)
Update: “Three Americans, one Brit, slaughtered in Jerusalem terror attack”
Can the leftists get any more blatantly anti-God?
“Why should CNN expect there to be synagog’s in Jerusalem?”
I know you are being cynical but CNN knows damn well it was a synagogue and crafted the wording for (they think) plausible deniability. Jackasses need to meet the terrorist they are defending up close and personal to see just what the killers really think of them, other than for their useful idiocy.
Back in the early 90’s, I tried playing computer chess on two separate 386 computers, each with the identical program, only on one I played black and on the other I played white, and copied the moves of one for the other’s game. When I started winning, the chess programs started malfunctioning and refusing to acknowledge moves, until they sank to outright cheating. This was back when computers were still pretty primitive.
Here we have something similar. It was an attack on an anti-Zionist, Chareidi synagogue in Jerusalem, not the “West Bank” and not “settlers”. It was unprovoked, and it was motivated by pure, unmitigated malice and racial/religious hatred. The MSM has to see that and admit it, no matter how much they twist and squirm, so they malfunction, fabricate, deny.
BTW, one of those killed was a cousin of my niece’s husband. Dalia was the eldest daughter of a friend. News does not happen on TV here.
It used to be a Mosque, but the Jooos! Jooo!-daized it, just like Rachel’s Tomb./s
Bit late to meet them up close and personal. They got shot dead.
From Baroness Warsi article:
“The mosque, on Temple Mount in the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem, is one of the holiest sites for Muslims. Temple Mount is also a holy site for Jews, although traditionally they have worshipped outside the walled area – at the Western Wall.”
Dear G-d! Who does this man’s fact checking? What an ignoramus.
