Several liberal media outlets made the choice Saturday evening to display absolute degeneracy when covering the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
Now, not all of the left-leaning outlets did this. ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, and others reported correctly, along with center, independent, and right-leaning sources, that Trump was shot and Secret Service agents rushed him from the stage at a campaign rally.
Yet, CNN and others decided to go in a different direction.
CNN initially wrote: “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.”
The Indy Star and other USA Today outlets said “Trump removed from stage by Secret Service after loud noises startles former president.”
The Washington Post wrote: “Trump taken away after loud noises at rally.”
Very specific, that. Politico decided to kick it up a notch by writing: “Photo of bloodied Trump fist bumping immediately spotlighted by his allies.”
Newsweek wrote an incredible headline, since deleted, reading: “MAGA responds with outrage after Donald Trump injured at Pennsylvania rally.”
Yes, that’s the story: Conservatives pounce on the former president’s attempted assassination.
Not to be outdone, Colorado state Rep. Steven Woodrow, a Democrat, decided now was the right time to tweet, “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are.”
It turns out that spending eight years calling a man Hitler and the devil has disgusting consequences.
And, as usual, the legacy media are complicit.
