Many Are Outraged By These 5 Words CNN Displayed During Hillary’s Benghazi Testimony

When armed terrorists are defeated in an attempt to board a bus filled with innocent schoolchildren who were their potential victims, it seems appropriate that news headlines should reflect relief at a plot being foiled.

However, when CNN wanted to tell the world about just that kind of event during Hillary Clinton’s appearance before the House Benghazi committee on Thursday, it found a way to distort the reality of the latest incident of attempted terrorism in Israel.

“Palestinians shot boarding kids’ bus,” CNN proclaimed in a box across the bottom of the screen.

This hardly communicated the reality of the incident.

“In truth, the perpetrators shot were armed terrorists intending on harming innocent children,” wrote Ken Shepard on Newsbusters.

CNN’s attempt to whitewash the event outraged many.

“While millions tune in to Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony, CNN’s ticker continues to display the outrageous headline from earlier today where they reported on the Palestinian terrorists who tried to enter a children’s school bus to carry out a horrific terror attack this morning,” the group StandWithUs posted. “The Palestinians were shot before carrying out the potential massacre – somewhat of a miracle in and of itself.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attackers “tried to murder a bus full of school children.” News accounts report that the bus driver and others prevented the attackers from getting on the bus. The attackers then stabbed one man before one of them was killed and the other wounded before being subdued by Israeli police.

Thursday’s biased reporting was not the only time in recent weeks that CNN has shown anti-Israeli bias.

Last week, when gangs of Palestinians set fire to Joseph’s Tomb, a holy place revered by Jews, CNN’s headline for the story said, “Joseph’s Tomb site catches fire in spate of Palestinian-Israeli violence.”

“In CNN’s world, Joseph’s Tomb spontaneously combusts while Israelis fall victim to anonymous knives. It’s appalling that CNN and other media are unwilling or unable to assign responsibility to Palestinians for any acts of violence against Israelis or, in this case, a Jewish holy site,” said HonestReporting Managing Editor Simon Plosker.
