Following the leftist media’s initial pathetically biased reactions to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Sunday headlines continue to roll out with the same misleading propaganda.
While video, photo, and eyewitness accounts all point to the same conclusion — that this was an attempted assassination — several large corporate media outlets have peddled a joint narrative that characterizes the events at Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally as a “shooting” or an “attack” and not an assassination.
While it is true that shootings are frightening situations for anyone to experience, the choice to describe the events as a “shooting” or an “attack” compared to an “attempted assassination” is telling. Only four presidents have been assassinated, and, including Trump, three former or sitting presidents have been injured in assassination attempts. Any assassination of a president, attempted or fatal, is a nation-shaking event with potentially dire consequences, and the media’s tactic to minimize or breeze over the brutal assault on Trump’s life is purposeful.
The recent cover of Time Magazine included the instantly iconic picture of Trump pumping his fist in the air with the American flag flying behind him. The headline reads, “Attack on Trump” with no mention of an attempted assassination. Below the headline, it says, “Former president survives shooting with nation on edge.”
Survives shooting? The phrasing implies that the former president was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, not that there was a deliberate attack on his life.
Forbes took the opportunity to politicize the assassination attempt, asking “Will Surviving Gunfire Be Donald Trump’s Next Appeal To Black Voters?” Following publication, Forbes deleted the article from its website.
The Denver Post’s Sunday headline failed to mention the former president, his injuries, or any of the attendees at the event who were tragically killed or injured. Almost glorifying the killer, the Post plastered “Gunman Dies In Attack” on the front page, rather than recognizing the disgusting attacks that were committed against Trump and his supporters.
Above the headline The Denver Post wrote, “Trump Says He Was Shot In Ear,” even when videos and pictures distinctly show the former president bleeding from his head after gunshots were fired.
The front page of The New York Times obscured reality in a similar fashion. There was no mention of the word “assassination” in any headlines, along with a deliberate crop on the featured photo. The choice not to include the American flag is interesting given how the picture went viral, with social media users calling the photo “iconic” and “the most alpha move in American political history.”
Sky News took the opportunity to claim that Trump “changed the rules of engagement,” almost alleging that an assassination attempt could have been warranted, given whatever behavior the publication believes changed said rules.
The Washington Post’s front page blared “Trump injured in rally shooting.” Like the Times, the Post also used a feature photo that was conspicuously lacking the American flag that flew in the background of most of the images from the iconic moment. A headline under the top story said “Conservatives blame Biden, Democrats for rhetoric.”
Even an entire day after the assassination attempt, corrupt corporate media outlets felt no remorse in dishonestly distorting their coverage of the atrocity committed against Trump — and the nation.
