‘Sad day for America’: Sky News host blasts CNN coverage of attempted Trump assassination

Sky News host Gabriella Power has slammed CNN for its initial coverage of the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.

Ms Power said: “If you were following media outlets like CNN today, you would have thought Donald Trump had a fall”.

A breaking CNN article included a headline which read: “Secret Service rushed Trump off stage after he falls at rally”.

“Falls? It was an assassination attempt. He’s not Joe Biden,” Ms Power said.

Ms Power said it was a “devastating day for America” and claimed there was likely to be growing support for the former president, following the attack.

As an American, I have to watch a foreign media outlet to get the truth about my own country.

It’s disgusting what American media does when it comes to Trump.

CNN should not be allowed a media licence

[chuckmcdonald]

I love the fact that a news crew from clear across the world see's it yet 50% of this country has no clue

As a Texan, we do not trust our media anymore....
It's sad & ridiculous when we have to get trusted news from other country's media outlets..

Sad that a foreign news service is needed to keep American news accountable

[ApexAaronGame]

As an American I am happy that other nations are calling out our media. My country is truly hurting, and we have to stop the hate.

CNN also had the headline "Trump bleeding while being rushed off the stage by Secret Service." When i first saw this headline, i thought the Secret Service were the one's who injured Trump.

American people seriously need to wake up.

I'm another American here, using Sky News instead of vile U.S. news channels. Thank you.

CNN’s caption merely said “Trump fell on stage.” Yet they wonder why their ratings are in the toilet.

[PaulSchuster-yjzb]

This gives the "cancel-culture" a whole new meaning.

[JennyJAldrich]

Thank you for being FOR America-and reporting the truth. I live in Montana and I get more accurate news about my own country out of Australia. I am so grateful for Sky News.

[jiminverness]

Today CNN has shown itself to be totally deranged.

[kelly]

The independent journalists on YouTube covered this more honestly than main stream media and that says so much.

[davereid]

All these people should be under investigation.

American media is so honest we have to ask the Aussies what happened
