CNN Confuses OBAMA, OSAMA And Makes An Apology

(From The Associated Press)

CNN apologized Tuesday for mistakenly promoting a story on the search for OSAMA BIN LADEN with the headline "WHERE'S OBAMA?"

A spokesman for Illinois SEN. BARACK OBAMA said the apology was accepted.

The blunder came Monday evening on WOLF BLITZER's news show THE SITUATION ROOM.

Both SOLEDAD O'BRIEN and Blitzer offered separate apologies during CNN's morning show Tuesday.

CNN called it a "bad typographical error" by its graphics department.

"We want to apologize for that bad typo," Blitzer said.
"We also want to apologize personally to Sen. Barack Obama.
I'm going to be making a call to him later this morning to offer my personal apology."
