CNN host Kasie Hunt said during her show on Tuesday that the outlet needed to 'drop the banner' in order to see why social media users were captivated by the alleged UnitedHealtcare CEO killer, Luigi Mangione. 'The man accused of killing UnitedHealthCare’s CEO going viral. Images of Luigi Mangione seem to captivate the attention of online masses.
