For most of the evening, corporate media ran awful stories with headlines reporting “popping noises” and a “disrupted rally” without mentioning anybody getting shot. There clearly was a coordinated media effort to downplay what happened and to avoid calling it an “assassination attempt.” My favorite was CNN’s take, reporting that Trump “fell” at the rally, as though he’d simply stumbled over a sandbag:
The articles were no better than the headlines. For example, CBS dismissively called the shootings “an incident at the rally:”
Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday
night to thank the law enforcement officials for their quick actions
after was "shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right
ear" during an incident at his rally in Pennsylvania earlier in the
day.
But, after the FBI formally declared it an “assassination attempt” early this morning, corporate media headlines and articles began describing the shootings more accurately. Still, most headlines downplayed ‘the incident’s’ severity, emphasizing that Trump was only grazed. For example, NPR:
Trump is fine after an assassination
attempt at his rally

MSM is the enemy of the people. They whip readers into mentally ill frenzies that Trump is Hitler and ending democracy, so they must do everything they can to stop it. Then they minimize the severity of this assassination attempt:
Now they tell us:
Biden's exit IS a boost for congressional Democrats' chances
Down-ballot Democrats no longer have an unpopular president running for re-election.
Their chances in November look a lot brighter now.
“An unpopular president?” Either Joe Biden suddenly became unpopular, or corporate media has been caught lying during the entire period before Joe dropped out, back when he was sharp as a tack, or even sharper. With the same approximate IQ.
I challenge you to find any articles before this month discussing how “President Unpopular” was hurting the chances of down-ballot democrats. But after dropping out, now Biden was a down-ballot lead weight.
Meanwhile, President Groundhog spent the weekend in his hidey hole. This week’s schedule has him attending Rep. Jackson Lee’s sudden and unexpected funeral, and announcing a package of “Supreme Court reforms,” by which they mean a bill to rent the Supreme Courthouse to recovering meth addicts, and put the Justices into “temporary” trailers next to a steel plant.
What Joe is not doing is campaigning for presumptive nominee Cackle. For some reason.
