TL;DR
CNN International anchor Christiane Amanpour apologized for wrongly referring to the murder of an Israeli mother and her daughters as a "shootout" instead of a shooting. Amanpour's retraction came after a 10-day campaign led by HonestReporting. The veteran journalist had originally contrasted the death of a young Palestinian boy with the deaths of Rabbi Leo Dee's family. Rabbi Dee demanded that Amanpour apologize, calling her comments an example of "terror journalism."
