This … is CNN:

Wait … what?
@JohnEkdahl @seanmdav That's just some unassailable logic, right there. #wow

Legitimately moronic, that is.
So, where did CNN get this from?

Surely it must’ve come from somewhere, right?
@CharcoalPuppy @seanmdav tried to find the sourcing, but couldn't.
— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) June 19, 2015
@DANEgerus ¯_(ツ)_/¯ tried looking up the sourcing but couldn't find it.
— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) June 19, 2015
Well, if it’s trustworthy sourcing you’re looking for, you’re gonna come up pretty short.
@JohnEkdahl @EWErickson Oh look, they get their data from a left leaning outfit.

This isn’t the first time CNN’s used the shady NAF as a source:

Oh, and did we mention that CNN took some, um, liberties with the NAF’s “data”?

CNN takes a stat from New America Foundation labeled "nonjihadists" and changed it to Right Wing Extremism. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/Kw6zWKauMA

These screencaps show CNN taking a NAF stat and deliberately changing it to blame conservatives. #CharlestonShooting pic.twitter.com/PtLOXiMo5c

Guess it’s OK to mislead when it makes conservatives look bad, right?

@JohnEkdahl It would be interesting to find out what defintions they are using. Is everything not done by a Muslim considered 'right wing"?
— RocksEm (@RocksEm) June 19, 2015
@RocksEm I assume so.
— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) June 19, 2015
Mais oui.
Fascinating cut-off date @JohnEkdahl. Coincidence, surely.

@JohnEkdahl Funny how they always start counting the day AFTER Islamic terrorists killed 3,000 Americans. #Science #BigData
— Patrick Poole (@pspoole) June 19, 2015
@pspoole To include that would be racist. @JohnEkdahl

The kind of misleading talking point that would bring a media choir of overreach if other way around.. RT @JohnEkdahl pic.twitter.com/IFUDnLorzS
— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) June 19, 2015
No media outcry over this, though.
If we exclude the 3000 killed on 9/11 and then subjectively label deaths since as right wing if it helps our cause.. https://t.co/Xd9q9kCEfe

You guys! I figured out how to get the left to admit Muslim extremism exists. https://t.co/YIEYxXf9tm
