The major media’s protection of the Trump assassination test may come as a surprise since it has been haughty.
For instance, the New York Times declined to list it as an attempted assassination on Sunday’s entry website.

Why would n’t they call it what it was? Prior to printing, it was well known that it was an assassination attempt. How does they support calling it  ,” a capturing” when Trump was definitely the target of an enemy’s bullet that hardly missed. And the report was aware of it as well.  ,
The post began with” Former President Donald J. Trump was injured in a shooting only days into his march on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania,” which officials claimed they were looking into as an assassination attempt.
A different post, which did recognize that the headline was an assassination attempt, made false claims that Trump had orchestrated the attack and that he had encouraged his supporters to riot.
Mr. Trump has often been accused of fomenting crime, most notably on Jan. 6, 2021, when he encouraged a crowd of supporters to protest on the Capitol, where they ransacked the tower in an attempt to prevent Congress from ratification Mr. Biden’s election defeat.  ,
Previous Department of Homeland Security official and former member of the Obama administration Samantha Vinograd, a CBS source, claimed that the current issue is reprisal from the correct. She also attributed the assassination attempt to the Capitol riot.

” The security issues that led to this incident are being looked into.” The biggest threat then is retaliatory violence, she claimed, which officials are telling me tonight is.  ,

She continued,” We are aware that tensions were already high prior to this incident, and the counter terrorism officials and homeland security officials that I’ve spoken to in the last few hours are deeply concerned that this event will be used as a rallying cry to launch attacks against individuals associated with the Biden campaign and lead to broader domestic distress.”
