Self Own? Newsmax Guide Labels Trump's Rally 'Life Of Adolf Hitler'
Interrupting its regularly schedule programming — a biography of Hitler — with a Trump rally, the right-wing news rag station didn't bother changing the news guide programming.
In either an embarrassing self-own, or an astonishing moment of self-awareness, Newsmax TV station ran a Trump rally, while its programming guide told viewers they were watching "The Life of Adolf Hitler - Rise of the Demon."
Newsmax preempted their schedule to broadcast the president’s rally but apparently didn’t think it important to change the title of the programming. pic.twitter.com/mHtdyOv3MY

Some folks on Twitter, of course, wondered if it was real, and learned that it was.
This cannot be real.

This was my TV as I tried to change the channel. I did a double take, changed the channel, came back. Yep. This was it. pic.twitter.com/vs9cXahh5p

The similarities have been striking from the start, as many have pointed out. It's just that no one bothers trying to hide it anymore.

And the program following "Rise of the Demon" was even more fitting:
Oh, I think he's talked long enough for that.
