Critics challenge media portrayal of Trump's comments on Liz Cheney as misleading
Critics are challenging media coverage of former President Trump's comments about Liz Cheney, claiming it misrepresents his words. Trump referred to Cheney as a "radical war hawk" and suggested she would not face consequences for her views. Media outlets, including CNN and The New York Times, framed Trump's remarks as a call for violence against Cheney. Headlines suggested he implied her execution, prompting backlash from various commentators across the political spectrum. Some critics, including former GOP congressman Joe Walsh, argue that Trump did not threaten Cheney's life. They assert that the media's portrayal is misleading and undermines credibility.
