the CNN Antifa piece has been updated 20 Aug. the Orwellian subheading “Activists seek peace through violence” has been removed and who knows what else, because I didn’t get to see the piece when it was dated 19 Aug.
I did eventually manage to copy the text of the updated version, & am hoping someone has a screenshot of the original, so I can compared the two. same url:

The first I saw the article, it had the same "This story has been updated to clarify that counterprotesters say they are not to blame for violence at the Charlottesville protest." remark at the end. I suspect the article had a sentence somewhere that might be taken as antifa having any blame at all for the violence. In other words, I doubt the article has been changed much, other than the headline was the subject of plenty of ridicule so they figured they ought to change it, just to avoid the ridicule.

Looks like we just can't get enough of Millie. She,Millie Weaver,of info wars who was on the scene reporting from Charlottesville and tells us exactly what happened.
I have told the story so many times I'll just do it again.
Millie tells of how the White Nationalists applied for a permit months ago and the Charlottesville city commission and its mayor, el Miguel Signer, readily urged them to approve it.They did. Most have lost their jobs after the riot last Saturday. Seems people of Charlottesville, who may be a left wing majority, are not completely stupid.
Once the permit was in place the wheels went into place(I'm obviously embellishing much of what Millie said but view the video its straight forward).
Soros, Mccauliffe,(aka the punk) designed the op and seems they had some help from a well known rogue agency when it came time to employ the cars.
Anyway all too long a story everything was fine in the expanded area told by locals for the white nationlalists to meet at. Seems the first area was too small for a full fledged riot and the powers that be realized that so they sent everyone to a bigger locale.
Things were peaceful with the white nationalists until the police came in dressed in full—”we will start the riot” —gear. And they did.
First they told the white nationalists that “their permit was no longer any good” and they would have to leave.At that point Millie asked the head policeman if they could leave down the safer path away from the antifa and blm goons and she was told:
“they have to leave the way they came in”
That way was right through a goon squad of antifa and blmers loaded with rocks,sticks,balloons filled with feces,urine,chemicals paint and loads of pepper spray.
The inevitable planned riot happened and a full blown melee broke out.
We know know that the plan to mow down protesters with a car was planned by the antifa as shown over at AT this morning and posted here earlier.
So the fix was definitely in and reported accurately.
