CNN Apologizes for 'Israel Shoots Palestinians' Headline

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.

CNN was probably passing out candy each time an American was beheaded. Crappy News Nuts.

CNN is not the problem. I was sitting in a highway service plaza snack bar this afternoon on a business trip to Miami and happened to see Obama’s ugly face - as he lamented the “killings of Israelis and Palestinians” (the only Palestinians killed were the terrorists) and then said that he hoped Jerusalem would someday be safe for Palestinians and ...long pause ... Israelis.

Obama is evil and he hates Jews, but he’s feeling so empowered now (because he honestly doesn’t give a flying f about his supposed party) that he’s going to show us more and more of the truth about him.

But then the Department of Redundancy department would get on your case!
