CNN Interviews Baby-Saving Hero, Blurs ‘Trump 2016’ Shirt
C’mon, there’s no media bias.

CNN Headline News interviewed a man who rescued a baby left inside a hot car. The reaction was as expected: gratefulness for the man’s quick action. But there was just one problem. For the remote interview, the hero wore a “Trump 2016” T-shirt. There was nothing the network could do for the live shot but on a rebroadcast of the story, the editing department made sure to blur out the “offensive” message.
Here is the original CNN/HLN segment clearly showing the shirt worn by retired sheriff's deputy Steven Eckel as he explained the events of that day:
It even appears that the newscaster was visibly shaken by Eckel’s attire when she first notices (around 1:40). Her eyes dart around, and it frazzles her for a second, probably because of the lack of a trigger warning.
In the later broadcast, they avoid showing Eckel as much as possible, but when they do, his shirt is censored:
It’s no surprise that HLN would do such a thing. After all, it is CNN’s liberal little sister. But what likely bugged them more is that they'd found a Trump supporter with a real, beating, loving heart that cared about another human being. What a shocker!
Do you know what the media would never blur out besides a Hillary Clinton T-shirt? San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick's anti-cop socks he recently wore to practice:
And somehow we’re supposed to believe the media aren’t biased.
