Rhetorical question: if a Hillary-hating Trump supporter had shot and almost killed a Dem congressman, do you think CNN would have mentioned that fact on the one-year anniversary of the event?

But in its five-plus minute segment this morning on the first anniversary of a shooting at a Republican practice baseball game in which GOP congressman Steve Scalise was shot and almost killed, CNN failed to even name the shooter, James T. Hodgkinson, and never mentioned that he was a Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter.

The only reference to Hodginkson was CNN reporter Phil Mattingly speaking of a “lone gunman.”

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

CNN hides fact that GOP baseball shooter was Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

On the 2nd anniversary of the Pulse shooting they played up the gay bar aspect and downplayed the Obama voting bisexual Islamic Jihadist background of the shooter.

So there’s a pattern of this kind of thing.

The 40th anniversary of Bill Ayers bombing the Pentagon got completely overlooked by the media in 2012, right at Bill Ayer’s protege was running for re-election as president.

A leftist attempted to overthrow our constitutional republic on this day last year by assassinating enough of the majority party to effect a coup.

These people are not your countrymen. They are not your friends. They hate you, and believe you are evil, and therefore any actions they take are justified.

We should not make the mistake of underestimating their hatred. We need to become proactive, though it’s not in our nature.

Well, if a Trump supporter had shot up a bunch of Democrat members of Congress I'm sure CNN would forget to mention that fact...

CNN reporter Phil Mattingly speaking of a “lone gunman.”

Interesting choice of words ...

Is that him on the right? He kinda looks like Hitler Youth Hogg.

SeeB.S. did the same thing.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Yup, that’s Mattingly. No relation to Don!

Bias by omission is common at CNN & NYT, etc.

So there’s a pattern of this kind of thing.

: ) Hey where's your /s...?

Thanks for pointing out their tactics.

"lone gunman" with no political or philosophical affiliation. Not a member of any collective.

Uh,...ok. /s
