During Sunday's edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace contrasted the headline of a front page story published in The Washington Post the day after Republican Congressman Steve Scalise was shot at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia by a Bernie Sanders supporter with a front page Post story published the day after the capture of mail bomb mastermind Cesar Sayoc, a Trump supporter.  The headline for the story regarding Sayoc read "Bomb Suspect Outspoken Supporter of Trump."  Wallace said that the headline really surprised him, he said he expected the headline to read "Suspect Arrested." In contrast, a headline on the front page of the Post the day after the Scalise shooting read "Congressman Shot in Va," not mentioning that shooter James Hodgkinson was a Bernie Sanders supporter.
