The terror attack in Nice, France, which took the lives of 84 people after a Tunisian born man drove through a crowd on Bastille Day, is being called a “truck crash” by MSNBC.

Even after the incident was determined to be deliberate and the identity of the perpetrator was discovered – 31-year-old local Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel – the media outlet continued to portray the attack as though it were accidental.

As reported by Infowars in the aftermath of the attack, other left-leaning news organizations made similar statements in an apparent attempt to distance the attacker from his horrific actions.

A large number of news groups including The New York Times, CNN and TIME outright blamed the entire terrorist attack on the truck itself.

A tweet from the Hill even appeared to suggest that the truck autonomously drove into the crowd without a driver.
