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.

They’ve really upgraded their staff, huh?
CNN tries to Gruberize its small audience again with lies posting as news.
“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.”
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.
Israel should ban CNN from their country...Period.
There it IS!!
They used to manipulate opinion by omission, now they just flat out lie.
I saw a few days ago they put out a written warning that the viewers were about to hear parts of the national anthem.
I remember being forced to listen to their Seaworld is Evil documentary all night long in the Atlanta bus depot when I was last in America. Brrrrrr.
‘...tens of millions of viewers’?
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.
In other stupidity, John Kerry, wearing his UN blue tie, characterized the murders as incitements based on language. Language! Well, the bloody Holy Book was probably written in Hebrew.
“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.
