Mainstream media is utter garbage. That's it. That's the message.
The entire purpose of a free press is to allow the truth to come out. In modern day America, mainstream media works against this notion and proactively works to subvert the truth with their reporting. In the case of CBS News coverage of the police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, the dishonesty on their part is striking.
They intentionally edited out the part of the video that shows a gun in Toledo’s hand just prior to being shot. We know it was intentional because the rest of the video edit kept Toledo in best view, but the split second in which the gun can be seen, they conveniently pulled the edit to the left to keep him hidden before panning back to show him getting shot.
Based on the video, many on both sides of the political aisle were outraged at what appears to be a teen boy stopping and raising his hands as ordered before getting shot. But the gun in his hand a split second before adds brand new context that makes the split second decision more understandable, though clearly still wrong on the police officer’s part.
Social media was outraged by CBS News’ editing:
Ryan Saavedra said, “This video is deceptively edited and cuts out the portion of the police officer’s body camera footage that showed that the suspect was holding a gun.”
Brodie’sBurner said, “Regardless of how anyone feels about this shooting. Right or wrong. Justified or not. EVERYONE should be outraged that it was purposefully edited to elicit a desired response from us. If we don’t wake up to what they’re doing, we’re gonna tear ourselves apart. Smarten TF up.”
MORE at link....................
Who runs CBS? They are full of left wing loon propaganda.
SEE BS!.......................
The first picture doesn’t promote the agenda.
The picture of this kid with his hands up could have been taken immediately AFTER he was shot. People who have been present at shooting scenes know that only in Hollywood do shooting victims immediately fall down after being shot.
Not to mention, CBS pulled out ONE FRAME of a “video” with that over a few minutes. There are 30-60 frames per SECOND. so to pull one frame out of thousands is fraudulent when they want to depict him as standing there with hands up after tossing the gun, all which occurred in 1-2 seconds.
The ‘Tiffany Network’.....................
That’s libel against the state and police officer.
it’s not the same image....
And then they get all huffy and self-righteous when you call them “FAKE NEWS”................
It was edited...................
It's also Evidence Tampering and an attempt to taint the Jury pool.
You CANNOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA.
On ANYTHING !!!
They should be charged with Tampering with the Evidence!
Or Corrupt, which implies correctly that these fake stories are purposeful.
Not sure it was edited, I think the smaller picture is a micro second later, his head is not facing the same direction, it is the moment he is tossing the gun.
The Ministry of Propaganda is despicable.
Confusing headline.
“CBS splices gun in Adam Toledo’s hand out of police shooting video”
CBS splices gun out of Adam Toledo’s hand in police shooting video.
