From the INDEPENDENT article "Video shows CNN executive dodging apparent drive-by shooting in Washington DC suburbs" (link below):"A CNN public relations executive posted security camera footage appearing to show a drive-by shooting in his Washington DC suburban neighbourhood.
Matt Dornic, the network's head of strategic communications, posted the video to his Twitter account with the caption: "Here's a video of me dodging random gunfire in NW DC last night at 8.42pm. This is unacceptable."
...
"No it's unacceptable bc no one should be terrified to walk down the street,"
...
Mr Dornic said he wanted to draw attention to crime in the city from his firsthand account.""This is unacceptable" except to the American mainstream media who apparently do not want to cover stories regarding a rising crime rate and/or this type of crime creeping into the suburbs
I searched for this story on CNN's website and could not find it.
My guess as to the reason for this is that it does not fit CNN's narrative.
Perhaps they changed the network's official slogan from "Holy Crap, We're All Gonna Die" back to "The Most Trusted Name in News". LOL :-) (a reference to the satirical New Yorker 2014 article "CNN Defends New Slogan" by Andy Borowitz. Link: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/cnn-defends-new-slogan )
