I have NEVER heard, "Innocent until proven Guilty" from our supposed liberal media

[Baltimike]

They never said that with Hillary.

They aren't saying it about Hunter Biden

It's just...remarkable.

1. It is indeed

[H2O Man]

2. That would be

because it is only applied to those charged with a crime. Neither Hillary nor Hunter have been.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. An important distinction

It separates the INDICTED from law-abiding citizens.

[H2O Man]

7. That it does!

Criminals like Trump are presumed "innocent" only within the context of the legal system. It's not something that applies to those not charged with a crime, for obvious reasons. Thus, for reasons that the media considers legal protections, they use this along with "alleged" to describe even the very worst criminals, be they an accused mass shooter or Trump.

10. Easy to imagine the outcry from rump and company

if the media neglected to make that important nod toward presumption of innocence. We’d never hear the end of things like ‘the media is lynching our client publicly’ or ‘wokeness is suspending rule of law’.

8. That's an even more damning indictment (no pun intended) on their coverage of Hillary and Hunter.

[BlackSkimmer]

3. Whoa! Did I miss the arrests of Hillary and/or Hunter?

All I did was take the dogs for a walk!

[Joinfortmill]

4. I hear you. I think they are being very careful what they say.

[brooklynite]

6. There's a distinction between legal presumption and assumption of action.

Plenty of coverage of what Trump was doing. I don’t see an inconsistency.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

9. +1

[Mr.Bill]

11. In the court of public opinion

most people pronounce innocence or guilt long before a trial, and they don't change their minds even after the trial. Most people think O J Simpson is guilty of murder even though he was acquitted in court.

12. If the media declared him guilty wouldn't Trump's defense claim the

media prejudiced the jury and give cause for appeal or mistrial. Of course they will anyway though.

[Karadeniz]

13. On the day of the indictment, every MSNBC host had a guest who made that point.

[betsuni]

14. Passive-aggressive "Where's there's smoke, there's fire" insinuation with Democrats.

Sneaky and effective. I'm not even sure they know they're doing it.
