Honest reporting? Integrity in the news media? Not in this case…
When the sister of slain Syville Smith from Milwaukee encouraged protesters to “burn the suburbs,” CNN just could not resist a little “editorial work.”
Rather than air it as is, CNN got a little creative, deciding to cut away at precisely the proper moment in an attempt to alter her message. It sounds a lot more peaceful that way. Take a look:

In response, REDDIT went absolutely crazy! As it should.
CNN simply could not take the heat:

Why did CNN choose to alter the video? We can speculate, but we truly do not know.
