Look at the timestamps. THey're still trying.

the AP photographer.

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

Yeah, it was a choice.

[Doctor Phibes]

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.

[Doctor Phibes]

Also, not to be an asshole, but I suspect this is going to clinch the election for Trump.

I don't think it's an absolute certainty. November is eons away election-wise.

Wise man.

But I think LuFin is right...This might save Biden's candidacy...

Timing's pretty good for it, yeah.

The New York Times apparently doesn't think the "a word" is fit to print.

And they managed to crop out (most of) the American flag.

The Chicago Tribune's headline doesn't even say that he was shot.

What’s the headline if a right winger shot Biden? “Right wing extremist attempts to assassinate Biden”?

The FBI has formally referred to the shooting as an Assassination Attempt and assigned their agents and task force as such.

All the news that we want you to know @ NYT.

Yeah, @jon-nyc mentioned Reagan’s favorability going up 22% after his assassination attempt. I don’t think Trump’s goes up much at all. Maybe 2%. The electorate is still that divided, and there are still 40% of the population that will vote for actual Hitler over Trump.

I’m also not going to say Biden’s candidacy was absolutely saved, but I think it went from being a sure fire removal to highly questionable that he’s removed. Unless the DNC decides to give up on Ohio…

Print vs. Digital?

Both are 7/14.

That came to my mind as well yesterday when I turned on the BBC to get the reports.

Of course.

Getting tiresome, isn't it?

"Trump says he was shot in ear."

I don't get the problem with this one. The headline didn't make the image redundant and so with the combination image and headline, you get the most pertinent information.
