CNN mostly glosses over key phrase gunman shouted after shooting Russian ambassador

After the fatal shooting of Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov on Monday by a gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar," the media once again proved they are incapable of reporting a story accurately, especially when it goes against the liberal agenda.

Although the shooter was clearly heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" in video footage from the assassination in Ankara, multiple CNN anchors and reporters refused to mention as much.

They reported only on what the man was saying in Turkish, which was “Don’t forget about Aleppo. Don’t forget about Syria."

But's it's clear from the entire video that, indeed, the gunman also shouted "Allahu Akbar," which means "God is great" in Arabic. It is a phrase often uttered by Islamic terrorists while they are carrying out attacks.

Not all on-air personalities, however, refused to report the key context. To her credit, CNN foreign correspondent Clarissa Ward did mention it.

Anchors Jon Berman and Cairo-based reporter Mohamed Fahmy, however, glossed over the words mouthed by the gunman.

TheBlaze reported earlier on the shooting that killed Karlov and left several others injured.

The attack comes at a pivotal time for Russia-Turkey relations. The two countries have been on opposite sides of the ongoing Syrian civil war. Russia has for months helped to prop up Syrian dictator Bashar Assad while the Turkish government has supported Syrian rebels. Thousands of Syrians have died in the years-long war, many of whom perished in the recent uptick in violence occurring as a result of the Assad regime moving in to retake the ravaged city of Aleppo from rebel fighters.
