Disingenuous, Fake News

Just now, I was reading an article on the CBS news website about an “accidental” shooting at an Alabama school and when I reached the end of the article there was a picture of an AR-15 type rifle (an M4 clone) as you can see in the picture.


The picture of the AR on the counter looks like it is part of the school shooting story and implies an AR-15 was used in the shooting. Point of fact is the picture belongs to the next article which is about gun ownership by state. You can see the title Gun Ownership By StateBELOW the picture.

Notice the title, “Disturbing Iraq Video Leaks“, is ABOVE the PICTURE for the next article.  Also note that if someone were to share, email,  or retweet the Alabama shooting article the picture of the AR-15 is included even though it has nothing to do with the “news”.

Why the difference in formatting?

Here’s why.  It’s manipulation by the Fake News media. They purposely are linking an AR-15 to every shooting.  All the other articles on the website have the TITLE BEFORE the article and ANY PICTURES.

This is the sort of manipulation that the LEFTIST use to confuse and distort the news to further their agenda to BAN firearms.

Was it just a simple mistake, that of ALL of their “reports” this was the ONLY ONE that has the title of the article BELOW the picture?  Yeah right. There isn’t even a one line space between the school shooting article and the picture of the AR-15.  There isn’t a connective sentence or any reference to “Gun Ownership By State” anywhere in the text about the shooting.  ‘Splain to me why that picture or information on “gun ownership by state” is embedded in with the “reporting” on the shooting as it has nothing to do with the article.

Fake News by CBS.
