WBBM May Face Congressional Scrutiny For Misleading Video Of 4-Year-Old Boy
U.S. Rep. Bobby L. Rush of Illinois has “directed his staff to investigate” an incident where Chicago-based WBBM edited the words of a 4-year-old boy out of context to make him seem like a criminal.
The video was part of a news clip about a shooting in Chicago. The interviewer asked a nearby four-year-old boy whether all the shooting frightened him; the boy answered “I’m not scared of nothin….I’m gonna have me a gun.” The clip was cut to hide the fact that the kid also said “I’m gonna be the police.”
