There’s not much to add here—Amy had the main point about what CNN did this morning: the network is expert at keeping the chant ‘CNN sucks’ alive, even after 10 years. Look at how they covered the IED attack outside Gracie Mansion last week. It was so bad they had to remove it, but the Internet is forever, and the PR statement didn’t help the situation either.
Guys, what the hell:
A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.

I knew @CNN would delete this.

It’s also the lede of the piece it published. pic.twitter.com/8bxpuYieqB
This was not a breakdown in CNN’s editing or reporting process.

Their editing and reporting process worked as intended to publish a narrative designed to make ISIS-inspired terrorists look like sympathetic people. https://t.co/rKj5mf12wz
The lede was edited on the CNN story...no editor's note explaining why.

Can we expect the inside scoop from @brianstelter? And, more importantly, when does new ownership kick in? pic.twitter.com/vMKPhBMwjJ
But with this latest update about the reporter, it’s no surprise this article was such a trainwreck. When someone partakes in the woke pronoun game—well, it all makes sense, doesn’t it?
This is the lead "reporter" of that ridiculous CNN story. You will not be surprised to learn she uses "they/them" pronouns and graduated from Columbia's journalism program. pic.twitter.com/ryReOxaLYI

Dear Lord.
But it did provide fodder for some epic mockery of the initial post:
An Ohio teen crossed into Charlottesville Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.

But in less than an hour, his life would drastically change as he would be arrested for driving his car into anti-racism protest… https://t.co/rExnwNtQgW
