Fake News Accusations Surround Trump's 'Home Alone 2' Cameo

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Chris Columbus' classic 1992 Christmas comedy 'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York' triggered a feverish media controversy this week after it was discovered that an iconic cameo by President Donald Trump was cut from a Canadian broadcast of the movie. Many conservative outlets and critics cast the move as an example of politically-motivated media bias, while Trump himself insinuated in a tweet that the decision to remove the scene came from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the company behind the broadcast, said Thursday that it made the cut in 2014 to make room for commercials. The confirmation elicited an apology from at least one conservative commentator, Fox News host Katie Pavlich, who had earlier accused the company of "censorship."
