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.
“Bang up job, guys,” Washington Examiner senior commentary writer Becket Adams said.

Conservative commentators immediately hit back, accusing the Network on dishonestly and potentially even libel:
Again, a lot of Rittenhouse coverage and commentary is straight up libelous. https://t.co/FqSJZNLkRe

CBS= CAN’T BELIEVE SHIT!
How about Communist Broadcasting Shit
Communist BS
Agree with Bug D!
CBS needs to go on TRIAL for libel!
Just another Fake News who watches them anyway.
KACHING MR. RITTENHOSE< KAAAAF’N-CHING. Like every liberal scumbag being an opportunist to slander and steal for any victimhood reason… I believe Mr. Kyle you have found your GOLDEN GOOSE with CBS “Continued Bull S” ! We all know what the S is for…;)
Is anyone really surprised by this? Let’s hope that when Rittenhouse is acquitted, he sues the crap out of CBS, and all the others, ala Nick Sandmann! The only way to stop this rampant ‘misinformation’ is to hit these outlets where it hurts – their checkbooks!
Another example of fake news.
Looks like Kyle will be rich for life with all the people he can sue . Couldn’t happen to better folks . Go woke go broke ! FJB, lets go Brandon !
Nicolas Sandra can verify that.
Sorry Nicolas Sandman, that is.
Given the sad, benighted decay of the English language today, this is to be expected. Did a poorly informed or careless writer fail to discriminate between ‘kill’ and ‘murder?’ Indeed there is a difference. Every murder is a killing, however not every killing is a murder. To believe otherwise is an error of paralogical thinking.
The point you make is absolutely correct down to the last punctuation mark. However, you can’t seriously believe that any of those morons would ever engage in, or are even capable of, paralogical thinking.
If memory serves they are the same ones that edited Zimmerman’s 911 call to make him appear racist, then labeled him a “white hispanic” in the Trayvon Martin case
LISTEN UP….GOD Likes PEOPLE Who Have INTEGRITY….NOT Those Who SWORDFIGHT Below the BELT. EVEN the FALLEN ANGELS Have INTEGRITY. When ONE LOSES a SWORDFIGHT…HE Lays DOWN HIS SWORD and SURRENDERS. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
THE ONLY ” MURDER’S HERE IS THESE CBS KILLERS OF HONEST JOURNAILISM FROM THE PAST! “
Law suit time, CBS has some deep pockets! Your defense will be paid for!
Don’t you just love idiot leftists.
Do all these news departments have so much money sloshing around that they need to get rid of it this easy, I mean my goodness this is an open and shut case of libel and they just don’t even care??? When the kid is found not guilty then they are guilty of libel and no one minding the shop at CBS cares?
Sue them into bankruptcy.
“Rittenhouse Broadcasting System” does have a certain appeal.
If I were his attorney I would be moving for an immediate mistrial. And file a libel lawsuit.
Two WHITE men. People might think otherwise.
They hired Stephen Colbert, is anyone REALLY surprised at this?!
They are one of the reasons I no longer watch TV bull****, oops, I meant TV news . I have an anti-bull setting with My TV and it is called COMMON SENSE.
This is why they are called CBS because that’s what you see.
Main Stream Media is as bad as this Administration .
Stop watching the news. They’re all in bed with the devil.
“CBS news (YUK!) & The “VIEW” yuk! yuk! CAN NOT be believed in ANY news reporting! I think BOTH hate Amerkca.
Libel lawyers lining up to sue when Kyle is acquitted and the prosecutor referred for disbarment. Kyle will have his choice of libel lawyers.
I stopped watching the news, except for weather, prior to the 2020 elections because it was all biased – and remains so today.
They haven’t learned their lesson from the Covington Kids’ media fiasco.
Libelous statements have consequences.
Hee haw politics hits the spot, twelve good jurors are hard to be got, justice is impossible with prosicutorial rot, hard to tell the defendant’s lot!
CBS is as the other news media And the Democrats that run a coup on the government for a take over and the terrorist leaders in our Military they are all Terrorist
