CNN was criticized by their headline that described the antifa movement as seeking peace through violence, but when they fixed it, they got even MORE criticism!
Here’s their original headline:

But, that’s not the headline you see now if you go to the headline.
That’s because they changed it to fit antifa’s narrative instead of reporting the truth.

What happened to the “violent” description?
Here’s the editor’s note that appeared with the article:
This story has been updated to clarify that counter-protesters say they are not to blame for violence at the Charlottesville protest. The story’s headline has also been updated.
Now, even the prior headline was softening the appearance of these scumbags, because it implied that it was worthwhile to commit violence as long as it was in service to peace. But ANYONE who commits violence can say that is their motivation. CNN just made it worse by kissing antifa’s ass and showing the bias they’re constantly assailed for.
We’ll defend the media when people are lying about them, but we’ll call them out when they show their bias too. Just like we do with everyone.
