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."

“We’re getting a lot of backlash from the far right over this, so we need to issue another half-assed apology, sweep it under the rug, and continue our Israel-bashing.”

"CNN has apologized for one of several errors"

But probably not for CNN's leftist propagandists stealing oxygen.

CNN should fire the reporter and the others responsible for this.

CNN where the news is discredited before it’s actually creditable.

I saw a few days ago they put out a written warning that the viewers were about to hear parts of the national anthem.

You should try the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. There is not a single place in that entire dungeon where you can escape CNN. It’s literally everywhere you turn. I had a two hour layover there in ‘12. Every 10 minutes I was forced to listen to Soledad O’Brien remind us that Mitt Romney had beat up a sissy when he was in sixth grade.

“Apologies” don’t mean anything anymore. EVERYBODY is always apologizing for something.

You don’t have to use the word “stupidity” and the name “Kerry” in the same story.

They are synonymous.

Just say Secy of State Stupid did another stupidity today ... and leave it at that.

They need to be forced to leave Israel for six months at least. Make each employee leave.
