One viral misinfo narrative following the Washington DC plane crash is that @cnn.com knew about the crash "hours" before it happened and published their article in advance.

Friendly reminder that misinformation isn’t limited to one side of the political spectrum — there’s been a notable uptick in left/liberal-leaning misinformation since the Trump assassination attempt in July.
❌This fake tweet has gone viral on X and has made its way over here to Bluesky.
There's no record of Musk saying on X that MAGA will succeed "in the ways Nazi Germany failed to."
It's a fake screenshot.
