CNN fell victim to the dreaded chyron fail syndrome early Tuesday morning when it labeled the Israeli house of worship under attack a “mosque” despite Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat repeatedly saying, on-screen, that four Israeli people were murdered in a synagogue. Also despite the fact that, you know, it so clearly happened in a synagogue.

The chyron was not corrected during Barkat remarks.
