After a horrible attack on Wednesday at Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, in which a police was killed and one critically wounded, CBS News have reported the attack in a decidedly bias way.
The news site CBS news reported with the headline “3 Palestinians killed as daily violence grinds on” not mentioning that one Israeli women is currently fighting for her life, and one has died of her wounds.
Readers of the news site will surely be led to think that Israel is at fault for the death of the three terrorists and not because they sought out to murder innocent Israelis.
Other news sites, such as BBC news, who are notorious for posting anti-Israel bias had a surprisingly neutral headline: “Israeli border guards shot in Jerusalem attack.”
The Israeli foreign ministry denounced CBS for its bias headline and CBS only slightly tweaked the headline, saying: “Israeli police kill 3 alleged Palestinian attackers.”
As there have been multiple witnesses at the attack it is clear that the terrorists were not alleged.
CBS has not commented on the article as of yet.

Looks like they backed down and re-titled the article

If you go to the website in question and hit the world tab you will see that there was plenty of backlash for the original headline. Even now after it was changed, twice mind you, they are still calling for someones head.
HaRov Shlomo Brevda, z’tl, said that the people who are involved in producing and diceminating the news are the most evil people on earth. The current instance proves it.
One has to go to the source of all evil in order to eradicate it. This is sourced to the AP (associated press), by DANIEL ESTRIN. The footnotes note, Associated Press writer Fares Akram in Gaza City, Gaza Strip contributed to this report.
Now this makes sense. They have muslim reporters who are ubiased, or just delete that word.

Well clearly not enough backlash because CBS and the rest of the media engage in this kind of distortion and deception all the time – these headlines are akin to incitement – absolutely shameful.
Can Israel boycott CBS. Can amer Jews protest android boycott. Neutral is terrible. This give tjwm support. This was the beginning of the Holocaust
This headline is all over the place
The sun **allegedly** rose this morning…
Make no misstate, this is not “bias reporting”. This is pure Jew-Hating expression by the editors of CBS. Whoever wrote the headline has anti Jewish agenda. I wish that the editor of the original headline gets a dreaded despise.
Why don’t we boycott CBS starting immediately. That means no watching of the Superbowl on Sunday.
American Jews and even secular American Jews should boycott CBS. I refer to not only to not attending to their news outlets, but even more important all Jews should be urged not to use CBS to advertise anything. They need to be hit where it hurts. Yes, Eisav Soneh L’Yaakov, but we need to do our hishtadlus. Secular American Jews need to be reminded, that in Germany secularized, assimilated, and intermarried Jews were slaughtered as well. All should join their people in this fight.
I wish the headlines would read Israel killed all palatines and let it be true.
As I saw on another site. This headline is paramount to a headline on 9/11 saying
” 19 Muslims killed today as violence continues”
