Media kept bias on full display after Trump assassination attempt
< < Go Back
The assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump that played out live on national television should have resulted in the kind of objective, unbiased coverage the country deserved at such a terrifying moment.
Some outlets, however, failed the test miserably.
Take these headlines, for example, in the immediate aftermath:
CNN: “Secret Service Rushes Trump Off Stage After He Falls at Rally”
Associated Press: “Donald Trump Has Been Escorted Off The Stage During A Rally After Loud Noises Ring Out In The Crowd”
The New York Times: “Trump Hurt, But Safe, After A Shooting”
Forbes: “Will Surviving Gunfire Be Donald Trump’s Next Appeal To Black Voters?”
Politico: “In wake of the rally shooting, GOP officials have been quick to blame Democrats for demonizing Trump”
There’s more, but you get the idea.
Trump survives shooting, but the politically charged blame game never fades”>Trump has been pounded by the press for nine long years, particularly after Jan. 6, and castigated as an aspiring dictator and danger to democracy, even going so far as morphing his face into that of Hitler on a recent The New Republic cover.
Such demonization could easily convince a mentally unbalanced person that the world would be better off without him.
Media Claim Donald Trump Sparked Political Violence that Almost Took His Life.
The only person to blame is the one who pulled the trigger – unless you’re trying to play politics.
