ABC News Buries Key Testimony Damning for Prosecution in Rittenhouse Trial
Newsbusters ^ | November 9, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 11/09/2021 6:59:27 PM PST by PJ-Comix

The admission by Gaige Grosskreutz at the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse that he pointed his gun at the teenager before he fired his rifle in self-defense was so damning during the Kenosha shooting trial on Monday, that one of the prosecutors immediately planted his face into the palm of his hand in sad recognition of the collapse of his case. This was also immediately recognized by most observers of the trial.

However, many media outlets, when reporting on that trial later that day, absurdly downplayed that dramatic moment by burying it in their reports. One example came from ABC News in both their online article about the case as well as in their evening World News Tonight broadcast. You get no hint about that significant admission until the very end of the article. In fact the subtitle even tries to defend Grosskreutz, "'I was never trying to kill the defendant,' the shooting survivor testified."

NBC Nightly News was even WORSE since they SKIPPED the key admission entirely.

MSNBC Don Lemon: His hands were raised when Rittenhouse shot him.

We know we can’t trust the MSM anyway.

It’s sad what’s becoming of this country.

In a just system, these networks would get suspended licenses
for a few years or so.

you mean they overlooked this minor detail?

Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t shoot until a gun was pointed at him

The political left, who are now in control of most of the major institutions in this society, want us dead or incarcerated. That is becoming clearer and clearer as time passes.

This is a travesty, that Rittenhouse could be convicted, possibly tomorrow. Such warped injustice.

The lawyer putting his hand to his forehead could see $$$$ seeping out of his projected future. I hope so.

The Left has Media Supremacy. They think they can control reality.

That’s OK, the jury is hearing the case, they’re not getting it from ABC news.

Power corrupts. MSM lies absolutely.

Just as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West; we can count on the MSM to lie, lie, lie. It’s what they do. It’s all they do when it counts.

I watched about an hour of the cross exam...it is hard for me to imagine how the Jurors could even consider any kind of conviction on anything, on even the most obscure charge.

It makes me angry. No doubt that young man will be scarred for life by this.

Don't they teach you not to do this in front of the jury?

Why does the NSM support Antifa? If they gained real power, Antifa would murder all of them and burn brown their offices; yet the MSM protects them. It’s like a death wish.

The jury is being intimidated by George Floyd’s cousin.
