MSNBC Chyron: ‘Trump-inspired Terrorism’
By Jim Hayek August 8, 2019
MSNBC used a chyron on Tuesday evening that read “TRUMP-INSPIRED TERRORISM,†in quotation marks, during The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell. The context for the chyron was the appearance of a guest, Professor David Schanzer, who published an op-ed in the UK Guardian under the headline: “We must call the El Paso shooting what it is: Trump-inspired terrorism.â€
O’Donnell did not question the premise of Schanzer’s article, but rather asked him to elaborate upon it: “Establish for us what you see as the link between Donald Trump’s rhetoric, Donald Trump’s hate speech, and what happened in El Paso.â€
The MSNBC host never challenged his guest’s view or expressed any doubt about its premise, nor did he show any concern that it might be inflammatory.
