A horrifying video of an August attack on a Charlotte, NC light rail train that left a Ukrainian refugee dead shows yet another violent crime incident in a Democrat-run city, and that’s why it is being completely ignored by the “fundamentally corrupt” media.
In the surveillance camera footage released by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska is seen as she boards the Lynx Blue Line on Friday, August 22, just after 9:45 p.m. and takes a seat in front of a black man wearing a hoodie.
While Zarutska, who is dressed in her uniform from a local pizzeria, is seen scrolling on her cellphone, the man behind her pulls out a folding knife, stands up and proceeds to stab her multiple times, including at least once in the neck before he walks off leaving a trail of her blood on the train’s floor, shucking his sweatshirt as horrified passengers looked on.
Surveillance footage shows the moments before Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed on her way home from work in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The killer was identified as 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, a homeless criminal who had previously been arrested more than a dozen times, and was arrested again after the brutal act against a young woman who fled a war zone only to lose her life as a victim of America’s violent crime epidemic which can largely be blamed on a Democratic Party that has so badly lost its way that it now openly opposes any efforts to keep people safe from the predators that they have enabled.
So it’s not exactly a surprise that a media that now functions as a disinformation and propaganda arm of the party would refuse to report on a story that would only further serve to cement the Democrat brand of being the party of crime in the minds of the American public.
While the incident has been covered by some outlets, including NewsNation, Fox News, and the New York Post, the vast majority of mainstream media is just ignoring it and hoping that it will go away.
That is something which is unlikely to happen now as a result of the conspicuous absence of Zarutska’s murder from their coverage, and people like Elon Musk and Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), expressing their thoughts on what has all the appearance of a coordinated and deliberate media blackout.

The corporate media is fundamentally corrupt.

“The corporate media is fundamentally corrupt,” the Texas senator wrote. “And dishonest.”
More reactions to the media once again running cover for the fundamentally corrupt and dishonest Democratic Party in a textbook case of a lie by omission.

This is so horrible. So terrible. If the roles were reversed, there would be massive media coverage and riots in the streets. Yet barely a word from most of the media.https://t.co/SoOHQaFJSO

This media blackout on the Charlotte killing is insane.
It’s not that they’re just giving it minor coverage…
Google her name on Google News. No mainstream coverage at all. Just the Hindustan Times.

Some contrasted the media’s lack of interest in Zarutska’s slaying with another train incident that was given hysterical coverage nearly 24/7 for months.
A US Marine restrained an aggressive lunatic on the train, and there was national outrage in the media for weeks.
A career criminal brutally murders a girl minding her own business on the train, and if we didn’t have X, we wouldn’t even know about it.
Radicalizing. pic.twitter.com/fCUzVEeK1L

Dear CNN, WaPo, NYT, ABC, NBC: Your ratings tank because you ignore stories like Iryna Zarutska’s brutal murder—a woman who fled war only to fall victim here. Yet you vilify Daniel Penny, a hero, simply because of race and politics. Shame on you. pic.twitter.com/vFJSFdp8ht

The media wouldn’t STFU about George Floyd or Daniel Penny.

Podcaster and Deep State expert Mike Benz, a former State Department employee, suggested that the media’s silence is all according to the USAID playbook.
The lack of any mention whatsoever of Iryna Zarutska’s murder despite her being a Ukrainian refugee reminds me of USAID’s call for media organizations to “collaborate” and “agree policies on strategic silence.” https://t.co/AkH4dxxrjt pic.twitter.com/nK6NbqvV4j

Left-leaning political news outlet Axios may have let the cat out of the bag on why the story is being hidden from the American people by the “guardians of democracy” in the press. “Stabbing video fuels MAGA’s crime message,” it pointed out.

The media may soon be forced to cover the story because President Donald J. Trump will likely soon weigh in, which will trigger a swarm of Democrats and their operatives who reflexively and mindlessly react in resistance to everything he says or does.
