As we reported earlier, CNN Headline News interviewed a retired New Jersey police officer named Steve Eckel who rescued a baby left inside a car while her mother was shopping. During the interview, Eckel was wearing a “Trump for President” shirt. When the interview was replayed later on, it was noticed that the t-shirt was blurred out so as to be unreadable.

HLN claims this is the reason it happened:
HLN spokeswoman's response: "We blurred the logo and shouldn’t have; it was done in error." https://t.co/a3tn26RwKv

Hey, could happen.
How does someone blur a logo in error? https://t.co/oFHpTBnr0E

@brianstelter Probably an intern going to her "safe space".

Someone doesn't. Someone blurs it purposefully and then says "It was in error" when caught. https://t.co/qNiPU3mUyl

Uh huh. CNN/HLN can't possibly show a Trump supporter doing something positive. Goes against their narrative. https://t.co/WEeej8W0Dd
