NextImg:Sen. Brian Schatz Tells Headline Writers How to Take Donald Trump Quote Out of Context

We know you're probably sick of hearing the word "bloodbath" by now, as it's been at the top of the news cycle since Sunday. Headline after headline reads that Donald Trump said there will be a bloodbath if Joe Biden is re-elected. In context, Trump was talking about the automotive industry facing a bloodbath. But why take things in context?

It's actually shameful how many media outlets (and bitter former presidential candidates) are taking the line out of context, seeing as they use "bloodbath" all the time.

Members of Congress don't usually come right out in the open and tell the media how to spin a story. That's the media's job.

No kidding … on the day the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about the government censoring social media. Thank goodness Elon Musk bought Twitter and let conservatives have a platform again.
