Add The New York Post on Google CNN aired a graphic that incorrectly said feminist icon Gloria Steinem died in 2006 — just days after the network was forced to apologize for mistakenly using a photo of a Dolly Parton impersonator in its coverage of the country legend’s death.
The embarrassing graphic appeared during Thursday’s edition of “CNN News Central” as anchor Sara Sidner reported on Steinem’s death at age 92.
But the on-screen tribute showed Steinem’s lifespan as “1934-2006” — shaving two decades off the famed activist’s life.
The error was first spotted by X user Drew Kerr and the FTVLive newsletter.
The blunder came just days after CNN wrongly aired an image of Las Vegas tribute artist Kelly Vohnn during a segment on Parton’s Aug. 25 death from cancer.
CNN later said it was sorry for the Parton mix-up.
“We regret the error and apologize to the Parton family,” the network said in a terse statement.
Vohnn, 58, told The Post she was stunned when friends began bombarding her with messages saying her image was appearing on CNN.
“I started getting all these texts in from friends saying that I was on CNN, and I couldn’t believe it,” she said.
“I was already heartbroken at losing Dolly, because of how much she has given to me as a woman and an artist.”
“But then to see these images of me on screen was just weird.”
The image CNN used showed Vohnn dressed as Parton at a Las Vegas red-carpet screening of “Song Sung Blue” starring Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman, according to the tribute artist.
“Somebody at CNN really messed up and didn’t do their research,” Vohnn told The Post.
“I felt so sorry and apologetic for Dolly, because over her career there are so many wonderful images and moments that they could have chosen from — and CNN just picked something not appropriate.”
Vohnn, a veteran tribute performer who has portrayed Parton and other stars, stressed that she had never tried to pass herself off as the “Jolene” singer.
“And to be clear I have never represented myself as being Dolly ever in my life,” she said. “I have always been known as a tribute act for her and many other stars. It was quite embarrassing to be honest.”
CNN did not immediately answer a Post request for comment about its latest blunder.
