CNN suffered yet another embarrassment Friday after using a graphic with the name 'Obama bin Laden' on air.
The struggling network faces large job cuts as ratings circle the drain and CEO Mark Thompson attempts to shed the network's liberal image.
Anchor Boris Sanchez was presenting a story on the network Friday afternoon regarding the relocation of illegal migrants to Guantanamo Bay Detention Center under Donald Trump.
At one point, they brought up the treatment of a known associate of the terrorist Osama bin Laden, Abu Zubaydah, America's longest-held prisoner in the war against terror.
The network graphic headlined the bin Laden pal as: 'OBAMA BIN LADEN ASSOCIATE: ABU ZUBAYDAH.'
CNN's error mixes up the name of the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks in 2001 with former President Barack Obama.
The Daily Mail reports the network did not appear to reference the mistake, though social media immediately jumped on it.
