As the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has unfolded, and witnesses for the prosecution all but handed the case to the defense, and the defendant himself described what was clearly multiple cases of self-defense before the prosecution violated his basic rights as an American questioning his exercising his right to remain silent prior to taking the stand, coverage of the circus has been, well, abysmal.
Daily, one headline and/or tweet after another in the mainstream, legacy media has used terminology flat out trying to project guilty verdicts in the trial.

Rittenhouse admitted to shooting two convicted felons – one of whom just got out of a treatment facility that day – after they turned their weapons (what were convicted felons doing with firearms?) on him. In any court of law, that is known as self-defense.
CBS twisted the truth to advance an agenda. And the alternative conservative media noticed.
Real Clear Investigations senior writer Mark Hemingway noted, “Again, a lot of Rittenhouse coverage and commentary is straight-up libelous.”
The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney called the CBS tweet politically motivated “slander.” “They will slander you happily if they think you have bad politics,” he tweeted.
“Oh, well, then. No need for trials, CBS News has delivered its verdict!” National Review senior writer Dan McLaughlin sarcastically quipped.
This is simply not ethical for any journalism outlet to use words like “murdered” in a headline ahead of any verdict. Rittenhouse is accused of murder, yes, but the evidence presented does not support that conclusion.
Anyone with half a brain and knowledge of American law knows that.
And to add insult to injury when it comes to Rittenhouse, the one person he shot but did not aim to kill has acquired a special status.
Outlets also continually referred to [Gaige] Grosskreutz as the “lone survivor” of the men shot by Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz and killed two other men on August 25, 2020, amid riots and violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, sparked over the lawful police shooting of Jacob Blake. Court testimony has revealed that in each case, Rittenhouse was either being pursued, attacked, or threatened before he fired.
During his testimony, Grosskreutz admitted that Rittenhouse did not fire until Grosskreutz had pointed his own gun at the younger man.
Lone survivor might have a dramatic ring to it, but it’s still not accurate. He aimed first.
There are those who think the entire trial fiasco is all about suspending second amendment rights. There are others who think that the one prosecutor in the case is auditioning for the next election, as is the judge. Some of the rest of us are wondering what the BLM/Antifa crowd is going to do if a not guilty verdict is read. Will this start the violence all over again?
Stay tuned.

What kind of crap people were on the grand jury for this situation? It should never have come to trial. It wouldn’t in Texas. Texas law provides absolutely that deadly force is permissible in the defense of one’s life, safety OR PROPERTY. AND of the same for an other person’s life, safety OR PROPERTY.
Wisconsin types… Don’t mess with Texas.
I hope Kyle is talking to Nick Sandmann’s lawyer. He will own CBS and the State of Wisconsin. Go Kyle! These scumbags need to be sued into oblivion. The prosecutor should be sued as well for malfeasance and prosecutorial misconduct.
Rittenhouse should sue starting with the feckless senile clown and little girl fondler Joe Biden for calling him a “white supremacist”. Twenty million would be a good start, then move on to the vile, evil false news left-wing media MSNBC and CNN (Clown News Network).
