Ah, yes. THIS is CNN. As Twitchy readers know, a CNN banner recently promised a story on the Navy SEAL who killed … Obama. No, really.
Fast forward to today and it gets worse. Take a gander at CNN’s graphic after the horrific terror attack at a Jerusalem synagogue.

Same difference, right CNN?

A gaffe or yet another example of bias that runs deep? Some aren’t buying the “oops” excuse.

CNN: Whoever captioned this should be fired. I have a difficult time believing it's a gaffe. http://t.co/mAJfICOETs #Israel

Supposedly a "mistake" CNN reports "Deadly attack on Jerusalem Mosque" instead of synagogue. http://t.co/nr1fjq8pvy

No IT WAS NOT A MOSQUE. IT WAS SYNAGOGUE. @CNN just raised their anti-semitic and unaware head. Shame on you. pic.twitter.com/jPfICrQFdx

Shame on you, indeed.
CNN reports temple attack was on a "mosque" & uses banner below. You'd think Muslims were the vicitms. HT @NBfromLB pic.twitter.com/gZvIcKIyuJ

CNN wasn’t alone either. Other lapdog outlets followed suit.

Just another day … RT @Jerusalem_Post: 'Guardian' deletes reference to Palestinians, CNN labels synagogue 'mosque'
— Arsen Ostrovsky (@Ostrov_A) November 18, 2014
@LahavHarkov @bbc5live referred to it as an "incident at a Jerusalem mosque" which was rather amusing. Not.

Telling.
You can see a round-up of the most egregious “flubs” here:
