Reports by Liberal giants - including the Los Angeles Times, ABC News, CBS, and CNN - inexplicably left out details regarding Shawn Laval Smith's violent past. A picture of him - published by police in hopes the public might help find him - was left off sites' landing pages.
The LA Times, in its article, made no mention of Smith's last arrests or the fact he was free during the stabbing on a $1,000 bond related to a Los Angeles County misdemeanor in October 2020.

ABC News coverage was scant; the publication acknowledged a "violent crime spike" though did not include background on Smith's claimed pattern of offending and being released or a photograph of him.
