One of the more shameless attempts from Democrats to spread a bogus narrative lately revolves around Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's mega-ratioed post. With the midterm elections approaching, AOC and other Democrats would like everybody to believe there are large bands of murderous white supremacists going around committing terrible, unthinkable crimes.
This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S.

I’m proud to have signed onto @RepPressley ‘s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror. https://t.co/ISo20mbLyg
As you can see by the Community Note, there are many aspects to those stories that AOC and others didn't feel like mentioning. Why? Because it discredits the entire attempted narrative.
AOC can count CNN among allies when it comes to what they're not in a hurry to mention in their post and headline:
More than a month after Tasia Fortune, a 29-year-old Black woman, was found hanging from a tree outside an abandoned house in Jackson, Mississippi, a suspect charged with murder in connection with her death is expected in court.

There's something conspicuously missing from that post. Why would that be?
Interesting how you give the age, race, and sex of the victim in the headline, but not the suspect. Is there a reason for that, DNCNN?

Please be sure to omit the race of the suspect while including the race of the victim. Why would you do that? 🤔

CNN did eventually mention the race of the alleged killer (unlike in one of the AP's stories where it wasn't mentioned at all), but you have to scroll almost to the end of the story to be informed about that inconvenient detail.
it's hilarious how you and ALL the Democrat Media REFUSE to identify the suspect.

The CNN headline mentions the race of the victim, but not the race of the suspect.

Because this is the suspect. https://t.co/InLU7iv8C7 pic.twitter.com/dvIlhW8u3g
When the facts fit the desired narrative, the media will use the perp's picture in the post. When the facts don't fit the desired narrative, they'll use the victim's photo. It never fails, and it's shameless. But then again, this is CNN we're talking about.
