On Thursday, the Washington Free Beacon’s David Rutz spotlighted HLN’s censorship of a hero’s pro-Trump T-shirt during a rebroadcast of an interview on his rescue of a baby from a hot car. Rutz (who won the MRC’s Media Blogger of the Year Award on Wednesday) outlined that former police officer Steve Eckle “donned a blue T-shirt saying, ‘2016 Trump for President.’ However, in a rerun of the interview…his shirt was blurred out.” HLN’s sister network, CNN, had no such qualms nearly a month earlier, as it ran Fareed Zakaria’s “bulls**t artist” label of Trump uncensored.
