A shock example of anti-Trump media censorship was caught on tape when Reuters ordered its cameraman to cut live footage of Trump receiving praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit.
The incident occurred as Jackson presented Trump with a shawl, a bible, and offered his prayers as the black audience cheered and clapped.
Perhaps aware of the devastating impact the optics of this moment would have on the media’s efforts to demonize Trump as a racist bigot, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!â€
The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?â€
“Shut it down,†insists the director,†followed by another voice asking, “Shut this down?â€
“Yes Michael, do it,†orders the director.
We then hear the word “blackout†and the camera shakes before the live feed is cut.
Hat tip to Karen L. Myers.
