Rotten Potato: Guess What Brian Stelter Is Blaming For The Attention To Iryna Zarutska's Murder

Posted • September 8, 2025: Most of the left, in politics and in the media, probably wish that the Internet, specifically X, had not existed for the past few days. If it weren't for Elon Musk's social media platform, most of America would have never heard of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska or how she was brutally murdered in late August on a Charlotte, North Carolina, subway train.

But then again, CNN is literally a loony bin. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0WN6c_XMAAEa92?format=png&name=small —— Unlike the dead legacy media, we've been following and covering this story since the video broke, and we have not seen anyone on the right making racist remarks.
