This blunder quickly went viral, leading to criticism of CNN for its lack of attention to detail and accuracy, further damaging the network's credibility.
CNN declined to comment on the mix-up, which adds to a series of recent embarrassing moments for the network, including layoffs and a defamation lawsuit loss.
