NBC Changes Headline After Jewish Man Is Killed During Altercation With Pro-Palestinian Protestor

Would it kill the big news corporations to actually tell the truth?

When they’re not outwardly lying, they tend to simply leave out important details here and there.

Something like that appears to have occurred over at NBC, and it’s a bad look for the company.

After an elderly Jewish man was killed during a physical altercation with a pro-Palestinian protestor in California, NBC reported on the incident.

They weren’t totally honest with their headline though.

The original headline read:

“Man dies after hitting head during Israel and Palestinian rallies in California, officials say.”

This makes it sound like the man just fell down or something.

The problem is, the victim was actually killed by a protestor with a megaphone.

69-year-old Paul Kessler died in the hospital after being struck in the head by the pro-Palestinian protestor.

NBC eventually changed their headline to reflect that.

The left-wing propaganda machine marches on…

Fox News reported on the dishonest headline from NBC:

NBC News altered a headline after Paul Kessler, a Jewish man, was killed following an “altercation” with pro-Palestinian protesters at a rally in California.

Kessler “was in a physical altercation with counter-protestor(s)” during which he “fell backwards and struck his head on the ground,” the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

The statement explained that the “Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be blunt force head injury and the manner of death homicide.”

The original headline from NBC News appeared to emphasize only that Kessler died after hitting his head: “Man dies after hitting head during Israel and Palestinian rallies in California, officials say.”

The updated headline gave the context that Kessler died after an “altercation” with protesters: “Jewish man dies after hitting head in altercation at dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian rallies in California.”

The Gateway Pundit also reported:

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that Kessler, “was in a physical altercation with counter-protestor(s)” during which he “fell backwards and struck his head on the ground.”

The statement added that the “Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be blunt force head injury and the manner of death homicide.”

Mr. Keller died from homicide, not from “hitting his head” in a passive fall.

Here is graphic footage of the aftermath of the incident:

It’s sad that the media only tells the truth when backed into a corner…

NBC tried to fix their "man dies" headline about the killing in Ventura County, which is being investigated by sheriffs as a homicide and possible hate crime, by both-siding it. pic.twitter.com/cC9qY9Yvgk

Above: @latimes accurately headlines that a Jewish man was "hit in the head," reflecting what police have confirmed is a homicide.

Below: @NBCNews simply says he died "after hitting head." No, NBC, homicide isn't something self-inflicted. Fix your headline. pic.twitter.com/hPuR4FvuY2

What is this headline, @NBCNews?

You can’t claim you didn’t have enough information because your own article cites the medical examiner calling it a homicide… pic.twitter.com/whjkgtV3bJ

It was murder, plain and simple.
