CNN Fail To Correct Misharawi Report
All the major news sites, except CNN, have updated their story on the killing of 11 month old Jihad Misharawi.
Here’s what Talal Abu-Rahmah had to say in November:
The Gaza-Israel conflict left more than 160 Palestinians dead, many of whom were civilians.
The brother of BBC journalist Jihad Misharawi, whose 11-month-old son was killed in an Israeli airstrike, died from wounds suffered in the strike, medical sources said Monday.
Other CNN reporters also reported it, like Sara Sidner for instance:
With its attacks, Israel is denying Palestinians their rights and efforts to establish an independent state, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Friday.
“This is an aggression against all Palestinian people,” he said.
He cited the deaths of two babies as a result of Israeli airstrikes. One was the 11-month-old son of a BBC journalist in Gaza, BBC Foreign Editor Jon Williams said.
Don’t let the CNN’s sloppy journalism slip under the radar, share this until they correct it!
“Rubbish”

CNN, sloppy? Yes. Inaccurate? Yes. Too lazy to correct something before moving on to the next story? Yes. Hey, Jeff Zucker’s got bigger fish to fry than worry about this kind of stuff. CNN’s still in third place. An inside story on who’s going to be the next pope from a source inside the Vatican would help their ratings, not this story. My bet is Father Guido Sarducci is the next CNN correspondent with breaking news.
To say nothing of Erin “Hijab” Burnett’s interview with Laura Bush where she (Erin) stated point blank that antisemtism is an acceptable thing as long as the US gets what it wants, politically from the region.
