Sad! Looks like CBS News got caught trying to pass Latinos for Trump off as Joe Biden supporters [pics] [CORRECTED]

Editor’s note: Please see the update below the original post.

We know that the media are struggling to prop up Joe Biden right now, but it’s apparently getting a little ridiculous now.

Over to CBS News:

CBS stole a Photo from Latinos for Trump in Phoenix and tagged it as a Biden event. #fakenews @DonaldJTrumpJr @charliekirk11 @drewsexton23 @kelliwardaz #LeadRight pic.twitter.com/Pmz1dt83Hv

Exactly! And the Make America Great Again signs ?

They're literally holding Trump signs & wearing Trump gear.

They didn't even bother editing out the Trump hats and signs https://t.co/jCUVCLYFMr

Guess they were too busy doing journalism or something.

Omg!
That is so funny!?

At least there’s plenty of embarrassment to go around.

This one is my personal favourite. https://t.co/gXlHmc9ljO

Update:

Looks like we’re the ones who screwed up this time:

this tweet, which has been shared by 10,000+ users, is false.

the segment is about Trump closing the gap in Fla. and Dem. strategists saying Biden needs to do more to court Latino voters: https://t.co/wE2iwGgEOG

CBS didn’t “steal” a photo and “tag” it as a pro-Biden rally. https://t.co/EJxi04ikdP

These are the images CBS aired as Ed O’Keefe narrated: “The president has cut into Biden’s advantage [in Florida] by wooing conservatives Latinos with ominous warnings about a Biden presidency.”

… so CBS aired footage of conservative Latinos. This isn’t a conspiracy. pic.twitter.com/EjTYwzG8O9

the pictures of pro-Trump supporters aired in the context of Trump's gains with conservative Latinos. The narrator (O’Keefe) explicitly stated this. CBS in no way tried to pass off the photos as pro-Biden events.
