Corporate Media Largely Radio Silent About Stabbing Death Of Ukrainian Refugee

Corporate media outlets largely ignored the stabbing death of a woman from Ukraine in Charlotte, North Carolina, until Monday morning, when two gave brief mentions, according to a 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation review.

Authorities say 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death on Aug. 22 on a Charlotte light rail train by DeCarlos Brown, a man with a lengthy criminal history. “CBS Mornings” spent about two minutes with a reporter providing facts about Zarutska’s killing, while “CNN News Central” and “CNN This Morning” had brief blurbs about the killing Monday morning, with the latter program focusing on conservative reactions to the release of the video, the DCNF learned through a keyword search of footage archived by Grabien News as of 11:00 a.m. EDT Monday and from social media posts.

The incident went viral on social media after authorities released video of the incident Friday, prompting Axios to post an article Monday claiming “MAGA influencers” were using the killing to push a narrative about crime getting worse. Tesla CEO
