The image below shows as an example of which CNN logos currently appear over videos. ![]() The logo that appears in the meme would never appear on top of a photo or video according to CNN's current graphic design convention. This is the same presentation that would be televised. There are two presentations of the logo on videos, either red letters with no background, or red letters over a white field. On the YouTube channel ( here) avatar features white letters on a red circle. In the website design pictured above, the logo appearing in the black banner has white letters on a red square field. For reference, Reuters published a slideshow of this scene on Jtitled "A shooting in Seattle" ( here) (archived here). It is not the photo used in the meme and it has not had its color altered. This slideshow includes one photo of the June 7th incident which came from Reuters. CNN's online coverage of this incident titled, "A person was shot after a man drove a vehicle into protesters, Seattle police say", ( here) (archived here) was illustrated with a Getty photo of a memorial in Seattle lit with candles.ĬNN has a running summary of daily protest coverage - but no mention of this shooting which happened in Seattle appears in the summary ( here)(archived here) for Sunday June 7, 2020.ĬNN also published a slideshow of photos on June 12, titled, "The week in 41 photos" ( here) (archived here). One of these photos was used to make this meme. One of the staff photographers present was Dean Rutz, his photos of the gunman are featured in the Seattle Times article.

(Source: Facebook screenshot taken on Wed Jun 17 21:01:10 2020 UTC) This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing: do you understand they are just getting everyone riled up with LIES. ![]() The caption in the meme read: CNN lightened the photo of the man who drove into the protester last night in Seattle. The claim appears to have originated on Facebook as a post (archived here) where it was published by 'The insanity of liberalism' on June 11, 2020. A reverse image search of the image in the meme only points back to the meme which was circulated on social media with no public disclosure of authorship. The CNN logo on the image is not the same logo currently used by CNN. Did CNN lighten the photo of the man who drove into a protester in Seattle and claim he was white? No, that's not true: There is no evidence that CNN used any form of an image showing the attacker's face lightened in their reporting.
