'Classic misinformation' spotted in CNN's headline about Florida educators and Covid-19

CNN has again been spotted leaving a not-so-minor detail out of this headline:

null

Their tweet contains a little more relevant detail, but not all:

Obviously CNN doesn’t mind if people draw some conclusions based on that, but there’s another detail that CNN couldn’t for some reason fit into the tweet and headline:

This headline doesn't tell you that classes haven't started yet so they didn't get it in the classroom. pic.twitter.com/31w8vCOik8

Clearly CNN wanted to set an anti-DeSantis mood in that headline by not mentioning that school hasn’t even started in Florida yet:

None of the “Florida educator contracted COVID-19 in a classroom.

This is classic misinformation — and it’s the top story on CNN. pic.twitter.com/l03hukBtTi

It really is.

School hasn’t started in Broward County and they weren’t vaccinated. In other words, their job had nothing to do with their Covid.

This is precisely why Americans don’t trust the media in general but especially in COVID. https://t.co/QpmzMfCfeT

THIS is why msm is a JOKE. Broward county public schools have not started in person classes yet. However, @CNN put this article out in order to bolster the "incredible danger" that is present in the schools, or classrooms. These are lies that shouldn't be promulgated. RIDICULOUS https://t.co/so6FRupk5K

This is ridiculous @ErikWemple
you know the goal is to imply that the teachers died because they were teachers

nobody trusts the media who pays attention because you are all shady https://t.co/xkmtVmkFYQ
