CNN Implies Jerusalem Not Really Israel’s Capital Unless Other Countries Accept It

NewsBusters: On Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, during a segment recalling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to put limits on who in the government is allowed to communicate with the Donald Trump administration, Costello and her guest, retired General Mark Kimmitt, repeatedly spoke as if Jerusalem were not already Israel’s capital, even though it has been the capital city since the 1940s where the Jewish state’s parliament and prime minister’s offices are located.

At one point, Kimmitt oddly implied that the Israeli government is located in Tel Aviv, even as he almost pronounced the word “Jerusalem” but then quickly switched to saying “Tel Aviv” instead.
