CNN was busted accidentally telling the truth after airing a chyron describing riots in Wisconsin as "violent."
During a live airing of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, the chryon calls the protests violent for only a few moments, as the text that once read "8PM Curfew Ordered After Violent Protests Over Police Shooting Of Unarmed Black Man In Wisconsin" was changed to "8PM Curfew Ordered After Protests Over Police Shooting Of Unarmed Black Man In Wisconsin."

The situation in Wisconsin, though, is clearly violent. Video has emerged across social media of rioters burning down businesses for the second day in a row after the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Blake scuffled with police for a few moments, being repeatedly told by police to "drop the knife." Though one witness says they did not see a knife, Blake reached into his vehicle before being shot several times by police. Blake was left paralyzed from the waste down after the incident according to his father.
