Republicans Pounce!

Note the photo shows the left side of his face, and very little blood.

That's a choice.

The choice could be that of the organizers who decided where to put the AP photographer.

@Horace said in You don't hate the media enough:

At what point does the phrase “Trump shot” actually appear anywhere? I mean he was actually shot. Grazed, maybe one inch from being assassinated. I wonder what fraction of an inch in aim that amounts to, from however far away the shooter was. .0.000001 degrees?

We don’t know that yet. George said there’s reporting that he might have been hit by glass from a shattered telePOTUS.

I sense you will be invested in this distinction.

Totally possible.

[Horace]

Jon will be waiting patiently until we have more information. Right now what we know is that two people at a violent Trump rally are dead.

I see no holes, cracks or chips in the teleprompters.

Both teleprompters were intact in videos after the shooting.

I report, YOU decide.

After I posted that, I agree, however.

[LuFins Dad]

I think either is a distinction without a difference.

Another report on reporting:

[Horace]

I’ve heard there’s a ridiculous right wing conspiracy theory that Trump was shot tonight.

Let’s try to be above believing in such things.

[LuFins Dad]

I admit. It’s enough to make me strongly reconsider my vote. I fully intended to sit this one out and just enjoy the show, but now? I don’t know…

Just sayin'.

And if we're keeping score on me, I'm of the opinion that socially, politically and morally, the difference is immaterial. But factually, yeah, it's different.

He’s bleeding and the broken glass theory does not look promising.

I will await the shooter’s manifesto before I decide how to vote. He has earned the right to be listened to.

CBS reporter criticizes the Trumpets for not calling to "Lower the temperature" or "retaliate."

Trump has now said himself he was shot.

Even less promising.

Look at the timestamps. THey're still trying.

@jon-nyc said in You don't hate the media enough:

the AP photographer.

Photo taken by Evan Vucci of (checks wikipedia) The Associated Press.

Yeah, it was a choice.

I know how you guys really love to hate on the BBC, but I have to say their reporting of this incident is a lot more straightforward than all the yank stuff.
