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

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!

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.

anyway, watch the segment for yourself: https://t.co/wE2iwGgEOG
you’ll see no foul play.
