CNN Tries Hard Not to Wreck AOC and Other Dems' False Narratives About 'Lynchings'

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.

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: 

There's something conspicuously missing from that post. Why would that be?

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.  

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.
