NPR issues correction for earlier ‘right-wing extremists’ photo, replaces it with a photo that is 3 years old

NPR has issued a correction on the story we told you about earlier after they were called out for using a photo to depict “right-wing extremists” using their vehicles to ram protesters that actually showed an incident where protesters attacked the driver and were arrested for it
.
.
.

And here’s the corrected version:

Right-wing extremists are turning cars into weapons, with reports of at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since protests erupted nationwide in late May. https://t.co/jM0hx6W3Rs

— NPR (@NPR) June 21, 2020

But that photo is from Charlottesville in 2017 and has ZERO to do with the “at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since protests erupted nationwide in late May.”

NPR has to get ahead of any “badthought”...

So they went a little overboard.
What’s more important?

Being honest or conditioning people not to resist the ‘protesters’?
\Some people may be sympathetic to a driver surrounded by a mob.
Can’t let that happen.

Good riddance to T-Mobile. Can’t stand their PC corporate culture.

When is it going to be legal to plow through people who illegally block your road? Isn’t it a form of kidnapping so plowing through the illegally blocked road would be a form of escape from your captors.

This "news" story (NPR: ‘Vehicle Attacks Rise As Extremists Target Protesters’) was written by a Muslim activist who grew up in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and is linked to CAIR, Hannah Allam.
