Just a few hours after the New Year began, a terrorist attack occurred in New Orleans, LA. But ESPN decided to call it something different.

At around 3:15 a.m. local time on January 1, an ISIS terrorist named Shamsud Din Jabbar drove a truck into a crowd of people celebrating the New Year on Bourbon and Canal streets in the big Easy. Reports suggest that 15 died and at least 30 more are injured.

ESPN was covering the news of this tragic event because the attack took place just miles away from the Caesar’s Superdome, the location of the College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The game was scheduled to take place yesterday, but it was postponed until 4 p.m. EST today due to the attack.

By the time ESPN started reporting on it, the FBI was confidently labeling the incident as a terrorist attack. However, ESPN thought that the truck did the horrific deed all by itself.

College football analyst Reece Davis went on air to make the announcement about the game being postponed, but delivered the new in the most inaccurate way possible.

And on its website, ESPN also failed to call it a terrorist attack in a standard article. Meanwhile, other left-winged media outlets were also suggesting that the truck acted on its own accord.

People wonder why no one can take ESPN or the legacy media seriously. Remember, hours after the FBI called this a terrorist attack, they couldn’t. Regardless of what their motives were, these types of headlines are inaccurate and misleading.

Bigger corporations like this should know and do better.
