Fake News CNN Claims 641 Mass Shootings in 2021 – Wait What? Almost Two Per Day!?

In an online story published Friday CNN admits they used data from the debunked Gun Violence Archive to claim there have been 641 mass shootings in the United States during 2021 – an average of 1.94 mass shootings per day.

Think about that – nearly two mass shootings per day. I’m surprised the legacy media had time to cover anything else, such as COVID, Joe Biden’s daily foibles or the tanking economy since their news crews must have been running from one mass shooting to another every single day, right?

CNN publicly stated they used the Gun Violence Archive’s flawed data:

“The Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit based in Washington, DC and which CNN relies on for its reporting of mass shootings, defines a mass shooting as an incident leaving at least four people dead or injured, excluding the shooter, and does not differentiate victims based upon the circumstances in which they were shot,” the authors admit.

“They counted as many as 417 mass shootings in 2019. And this year, 641 incidents have been recorded.”
