Yesterday, Kyle Rittenhouse broke down on the witness stand.
CBS Mornings reported on that today:
Kyle Rittenhouse testified in his murder trial yesterday, breaking down in tears as he told the jury he killed two men at a Black Lives Matter protest last year in self-defense. pic.twitter.com/ImQTlBbYM6

Only that’s not the tweet they originally posted. This was:
bang up job, guys. pic.twitter.com/bhQVfYMcpZ

We’re pretty sure that Kyle Rittenhouse never told the jury any such thing, CBS.
At least they didn’t go with “first-degree intentionally homicided”
— Alison Arkin (@Cronikeys) November 11, 2021
they ran out of character space.

That’s probably what happened.
Seriously, though, what the hell, CBS Mornings?
Wow.

In what possible context could their original tweet be OK?
My local NPR reported it the same way. Also, it occurred “during unrest and commotion.”

This is gross. It’s just vile.
And media and lefties don’t seem to see anything wrong with any of it.
I hope someone's collecting all these for Kyle.

The entire tweet screenshot from @CBSMornings is a lie. I hope Rittenhouse has a legal team taking and saving these types of screenshots. https://t.co/pFwGpBBXhu

Love it. Can’t wait till he gets acquitted and sues them all.

All these media, journalists and news outlets getting sued once the trials over. Rittenhouse gonna get paid

Rittenhouse is going to end up rich after all of this.

He would certainly have solid grounds for lawsuits.
I'm not a law talking guy & I know libel is hard to prove but this one's pretty obvious right https://t.co/9dtXPwv7ka

Again, a lot of Rittenhouse coverage and commentary is straight up libelous. https://t.co/FqSJZNLkRe

Correct. Despite what some may have you believe, the media have not been sympathetic to Rittenhouse.
Not a good look CBS. Thank God trial by Twitter is not a thing.

But there are quite a few people out there who want it to be. Including ostensible responsible journalists.
In 2021 you are not convicted by a jury of your peers but by a set of semi-anonymous "elite" "journalists" / social media managers who hate you.

This all brings up that evergreen rhetorical question:
why did donald trump erode all trust in media????
— tsar becket adams (@BecketAdams) November 11, 2021
It really is a mystery.
Journalists are stunning and brave and definitely not the enemy of the people 🙄 https://t.co/ukcXLm1ewT
