Yesterday Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about ever-changing press coverage.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

CNN described Mount Rushmore as a \u201cmonument of two slave owners\u201d on \u201cland wrestled [sic] away from Native Americans\u201d ahead of President Donald Trump\u2019s visit there on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But in 2008, CNN marveled at the landmark when then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) visited Rushmore on the campaign trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2008, CNN anchor Ron Marciano said<\/a>: \u201cBarack Obama is campaigning in South Dakota. That state\u2019s primary is Tuesday. Obama arrived there late last night and got a good look around Mt. Rushmore \u2014 it\u2019s quite a sight if you haven\u2019t seen it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fellow anchor Betty Nguyen added: \u201cBarack Obama is in South Dakota today. He arrived there last night. Take a look at this. He got a good glimpse of the majestic Mount Rushmore. Well, South Dakota and Montana have closed out the primary season on Tuesday.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But on Friday, CNN described Rushmore in less glowing terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senior Washington correspondent Joe Johns said<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

[A]t a time of racial unease, when protesters are tearing down statues of slaveholders and calling for the names of Confederate generals to be removed from army bases, the Rushmore event is a reminder that Trump is fighting to preserve these relics of heritage and history that some see as symbols of oppression.\u00a0And to indigenous people, Mt. Rushmore, with four white presidents, two of whom were slave owners, is one of those symbols.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article includes a screenshot of a recent Tweet that puts it all in perspective:<\/p>\n
