CNN blurs out pro-Trump t-shirt of hero who saved baby from hot car

A heroic man captured national attention for his action rescuing a baby from a hot car in New Jersey. But it was the way his interview on CNN-owned Headline News went down that has truly gone viral.

The man at the center of the story is Steve Eckel, a retired police officer who used a sledgehammer to break into a parked car that at New Jersey Kohl's, as reported by CBS News on Wednesday. The baby was taken from the vehicle, which Eckel said had reached a temperature of over 120 degrees.

HLN had Eckel on to get his story about the rescue, but apparently was not interested in getting all of his free speech. The network aired the interview... while blurring his T-shirt out.

What was on the retired police officer's shirt that was so controversial? An expletive-laded shirt? An image containing nudity? No. All Lives Matter? Support America's Police Officers? Nope, it was a "2016 Trump" T-shirt.

An interview version that arose after the segment originally aired shows exactly what was on the man's shirt. It was too late, however, the bias of the network had already been shown.

Oops, bad media, bad!
Donald Trump's people have hopefully already been in contact with him so he can be featured at a campaign stop.

CNN = Joke

The only reason why they are in existence is because they get money from your cable bill.

You cut your cable, then you hurt CNN.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

I've been saying this constantly. There are plenty of obammys and hillarys who want in office to hurt America,
but it takes a slanted press with no integrity to get them in.

Does anyone believe for a nano-second that they would have done the same with someone wearing a Hillary for President shirt?

We live in the boonies & have an antenna. Get several tv
channels; so no problem - except antenna sometimes blows
over in a storm. I guess cable has its problems.

CNN - Clinton News Network

There would have been an extra box with a closeup of the shirt and it’s own chyron.

It’s obvious why. But if it had been a mass killer, the tshirt would be enlarged and all over the cover of NYT, WAPO, etc.

Censoring the free speech rights of ordinary people. Evil cover-up promoting the agenda of the left.
