THE STATE OF OUR JOURNALISM – OVERNIGHT:  CNN can't even give us an honest accounting of the terrorist car attack in Wisconsin.  The leftist party line is always maintained.  From Fox: 

CNN was the center of intense backlash on Sunday over a tweet suggesting that the SUV involved in the Waukesha parade attack was responsible for the massacre that resulted in six deaths.

Darrell Brooks was charged with intentional homicide after driving his red SUV through a crowded street commemorating the holiday season, claiming six lives of those ages 8 to 81 and injuring dozens more.

On Sunday however, CNN appeared to place the responsibility on Brooks' vehicle, making no mention of the career criminal behind the wheel.

"Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today, marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others," the tweet reads.

Critics tore into the liberal outlet on social media for an apparent attempt to deflect blame from the suspect.

"Well, how about that? Autonomous cars seem to be running amok," legal scholar and McCormick professor Robert P. George wrote. "Evidently, one got it into its head to kill and maim a bunch of humans, so it 'drove through a Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others.' We should punish that car to teach others a lesson."

"A ‘car’ did this? Not a human being with intent to kill and maim and being held on $5 million bail?" California congressional candidate Buzz Patterson agreed. "You guys are a joke."

"Hey, @CNNKeith, what is up with this headline and tweet of your article?" Newsbusters deputy managing editor Nicholas Fondacaro asked. "You guys know the movie Cars isn't real right? Cars are not living things," he wrote in a separate tweet.

"Someone (Joe Rogan?) is radicalizing cars," former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles tweeted.

"A car drove through a city Christmas parade," radio host Jason Rantz emphasized.

"Give me a break CNN," Sen. Ted Cruz's communication adviser Steve Guest wrote. "A car drove through a city Christmas parade. The headline was written like this for a reason."

COMMENT:  Cowardly journalism.  The alleged perpetrator is an African American with a long rap sheet.  He has hurt his own community many times.  But to white, woke journalists, he is probably seen as a confused but sympathetic figure who has done wrong because wrong was done to him.  There are people who think that way, and they're giving you the news.
