This is true of all terrorists.

The fact that an organization is making a martyr of one of its own fallen, dead in a terrorist action, and using them as a recruiting tool, tells us that it is a terrorist organization, and the delicate dance being performed around this fact is frustrating and dangerous.

To some, Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for the Oklahoma City bombing, was a terrorist. To others, he’s a martyr and seen as a recruiting tool.

Same same.

What's happening is that CNN is unable to call Jan 6 a terrorist act, because, like Joe Manchin with legislation, CNN frequently self-imposes the requirement to receive bipartisan approval before acknowledging a fact as factual, and Republicans refuse to acknowledge it.

Jan 6 was a terrorist act by Republicans, but CNN doesn't have Republican permission to say so.

This isn't tenable.
