CBS Blasted After Posting Tweet Claiming Kyle Rittenhouse ‘Murdered’ Two Men

CBS News is now under fire after it published a tweet insinuating that Kyle Rittenhouse ‘murdered’ two men in Kenosha, Wisconsin in spite of the fact that, under US law, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

As The Daily Wire reports:

The CBS Mornings’ Twitter account posted, then deleted, a tweet claiming Kyle Rittenhouse “murdered two men” on Thursday while the teen’s self-defense trial is ongoing.

Social media users blasted the news organization for the slip, with many using the tweet as an example of a much larger problem of biased media reporting and commentary that has surrounded the trial.

“Kyle Rittenhouse testified in his murder trial yesterday, breaking down in tears as he told the jury he murdered two men at a Black Lives Matter protest last year in self-defense,” the CBS Mornings tweet said.
