Social media users lashed out at CNN on Saturday after the network published a story<\/a>\u00a0declaring that Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, is \u201cstealing the show at the Winter Olympics.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article centers on North Korea\u2019s surprise decision to\u00a0send Kim Yo Jong as part of its delegation to the games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the \u201cdiplomatic dance\u201d she\u2019s performed at the Olympics thus far.<\/p>\n

But critics on Twitter took issue with CNN\u2019s story, accusing the network of glossing over North Korea and the Kim family\u2019s brutal human rights record and \u201cwhitewashing\u201d the government\u2019s\u00a0atrocities.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Blehar, an analyst for election data startup Decision Desk HQ, jabbed the network for the story, saying that, if he worked at CNN, he would have sooner quit than\u00a0write\u00a0the article.<\/p>\n

If I were working for CNN I would honestly resign before writing this piece. Beyond a certain point, no job is worth sacrificing your dignity or whitewashing true evil like this. https:\/\/t.co\/k2qNfoV2zD<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of stealing, Otto Warmbier was tortured & killed at the hands of the Kim regime after being accused of stealing a poster. Let\u2019s not whitewash North Korea\u2019s record https:\/\/t.co\/ST8QwhImMD<\/a><\/p>\n
