CNN’s Report That Failed to Find Examples of Left-Wing Extremism and Violence Is Aging BADLY – Twitchy

A couple of days ago CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan sat down with fired Washington Post “reporter” Taylor Lorenz. The interview was notable (and by “notable” we mean very telling and not in a good way) when the two shared a good laugh over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson while basically fawning over the man charged with his murder.

That same CNN journo had a recent story that essentially said violence and extremism in the U.S. comes almost exclusively from the right:

“Violence in America is mostly from right-wing extremism. There is simply no equivalent on the Left.”

Wow, somebody slept through 2020 and so much more.

While we’re on this topic, here’s the latest on the hammer-wielding arsonist who targeted Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family:

There’s a better alternate headline, and Scott Jennings has it:

Now imagine the headlines if the arsonist had been wearing a red hat.

So he’s on your team.

Great job, Democrats.

Ah. So more left-wing, antisemitic violence then https://t.co/KXMQNPaEBr

Hey, maybe CNN could update the above report about violence and extremism in America coming almost exclusively from the right: 

Jake’s network just ran a special that couldn’t find any examples of left wing extremism and violence. https://t.co/7Q3ES26AWC

That’s because obviously they didn’t feel like looking very hard.

Just to recap, we’ve now had a CEO murdered, two assassination attempts against a now-president, a governor nearly killed with his family, and businesses burned to the ground…all by left-wingers.

But CNN just can’t find any examples of left-wing extremism.

CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan claims there is no equivalent on the left to right-wing extremism in a new special on CNN timed for the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. We’ve had arsonists on the left, cop shooters, two presidential assassins, ecoterrorists, etc., but Donie…

Trust in the media is at rock bottom and hackery like that from CNN just contributes to the demise of “journalism.”

Is CNN still searching for left-wing political violence? https://t.co/MiOZi8yJ2l

Apparently they never even actually looked.
