Description | NEW YORK (AP) - CNN apologized Tuesday for mistakenly promoting a story on the search for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden with the headline "Where's Obama?"
A spokesman for Illinois Senator 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. |
