We can quote polling statistics on how the general populace distrust the Mainstream Media, or how the public sees political bias in news coverage, or provide examples of the MSM selectively editing coverage, which in the case of NBC News resulted in a public apology and the dismissal of one of their producers, or how images we have seen in the news were sometimes digitally altered to make them more "compelling."

We could probably spend the whole day finding examples of this type of manipulation of the public, where the MSM believes they have the right to influence public perception by determining what they want you to see.... or in the case we are about to discuss, what they don't want you to see, but why quote examples when we finally can hear the truth for ourselves.

Yesterday Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump attended Saturday service at Great Faith International Ministries in Detroit. The event was covered live via a "media pool feed," which means one media outlet provides the livestream coverage to most of the other news outlets.

By all accounts the visit to the African-American church was a success, with Trump receiving a standing ovation after his own remarks, and the optics described by those attending were mostly positive.

Many watching the coverage live might have wondered why after Trump was given a prayer shawl by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, during Jackson's blessing of Trump, the cameras suddenly went dark.

It appears those running the pool feed decided to call for a "blackout," forcing the camera operators to "shut it down," despite verbal objections from the camera operator who wished to finish covering Jackson's remarks, the feed did indeed go dark, cut off during Jackson's remarks to Trump, and every other station or Independent journalist that was covering the event live using the Reuters feed, also went dark when they pulled the plug.

Key quote from camera operator before he was forced to stop filming: "I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say,… I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?"

Viewers may have to listen below a few times, as I had to, to catch the specific words that were caught on the hot mic the pool feed producers evidently didn't know were on, but it is there.

Reuters cuts feed just as Donald Trump is being blessed by Bishop Jackson
