CNN.com headline from yesterday.

"People are getting fired for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. It looks like a coordinated effort"

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/business/charlie-kirk-death-fired-comments (Article is older than 12 hours, EDIT to add: so not late breaking news.)

NO - quoting Kirk and talking about his message is not "celebrating".

2. Why even post and recognize such toxic stories?

I just don't see it serving any hint of inspiring our democratic community.... I see it just like foxx propaganda....

Kirk is gone...let the MAGAS have their grief....leave us out of it.

4. This is a CNN.com headline. CNN for God's sake. It is not FAUX. It is a LIE & needs

to be labeled as such. The use of the word "celebrating" is gaslighting and fucked up. It's important to bring attention to the weaselly way news is reported on a "legitimate" mainstream media source.

"leave us out of it" - I don't know how many DU members you include in "us". I personally need to know about this coopting of our mainstream media, and the lie CNN has told.

3. Read that totally different. Sounds like CNN is criticizing the coordinated effort to fire journalist.
