The dailywire reports: Left-wing CNN’s sister network HLN blurred out the Trump 2016 logo of a man’s t-shirt it interviewed for a human interest segment on Wednesday.
A retired New Jersey police officer is being hailed a hero after he saved a 4-month-old baby trapped inside a sweltering parked vehicle by bashing a window open with a sledgehammer.
HLN – a cable news channel owned by Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner – spoke to Eckel on the air. But when the interview was replayed an hour later, the messaging on his t-shirt was blurred out.
“We blurred the logo and shouldn’t have; it was done in error”, spokeswoman Alison Rudnick said.
Steven Eckel was wearing a blue Trump 2016 t-shirt during his initial interview with HLN, which was broadcast live. But when CNN reported the tweet on “CNN Newsroom” with Jim Sciutto, a graphic of the message Trump’s use of “Crooked” proceeding “Hillary”, his preferred nickname for his opponent.
