CommonLook Validator WCAG 2.0 AA failures

Good morning, folks -
I'm hoping for some insight on CommonLook Validator WCAG 2.0 AA failures I continue to get for links.
I've done some research on the failures but I was hoping for more explanation as to WHY this is a failure and HOW to remediate it and even IF it's something necessary to remediate or does it just become redundant to a screen reader user?

FAILURES REPORTED: CommonLook failure for WCAG Guideline 1.1: Provide text alternatives for all non-text content - "Parent tag of Link annotation doesn't define the Alt Attribute" and "Link Annotation doesn't define the Contents attribute."

Thank you,
