The media coverage of the assassination attempt of Donald Trump is amazingly…………….sparse, all things considered.

I find that quite surprising.
Oh…………….never mind………..not surprising at all.

Wrong forum, noob!

Yeah, CNN's headline was "Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after falling". This is exactly why only absolute idiots trust anything they see/hear on the mainstream media.

Our country is broken and it's the left's rhetoric that broke it. Compare the dude to Hitler enough and this is what you get. And they damn well know it... it's why they have been doing it.

Dr. Grande on the Trump assassination attempt. It's pretty interesting, especially the point about fairness in the closing of the video. It's just over eight minutes long.

Journalism certainly isn’t what it used to be, but this is how they report such an event?!?

CNN had the following headlines:
“Trump Speech Interrupted by Secret Service”
“Secret Services Rushes Trump off Stage After He Falls At Rally”

Washington Post:
“Trump Leaves Rally After Loud Noises Erupt”

Newsweek:
“MAGA responds with outrage after Donald Trump injured at Pennsylvania rally”

And the New York Times decided to run this piece today:
“He FAILED The Tests of Leadership and BETRAYED America. Voters Must REJECT Him in November”

Ugh, KOC. Wish you would have put this in the Politics section.

I'll give you my guess.

Maybe. Just maybe somebody is doing it right, right now.
Am sure the FBI and Secret Service probably are trying to figure out what exactly happended.

What procedures and were in place?
Were those procedures followed?
Where were the breakdowns?

They likely froze and took down the shooter's social media acccounts looking into a motivation.
Taking down the shooter's SM to stop kneejerk reactions from people who are not quite right.

Could the Secret Service be complacent? With as ugly as things have been the last four years, that is difficult to believe, but possible.

Content without Context will send more people off of the rails.

Conspiracies are easiest thing to jump onboard with. What people don't spend enough time considering is the possibility of Ineptitude.

We've all worked with or for somebody where we wonder How the eff did they get this job?.

So far, it's a Registered Republican. The Far Left media is licking their chops.
He donated $15 to a seemingly Progressive fund. The Far Right media gets their saliva glands in gear.

I'd rather have a full investigation to simply learn what happended, hold the people accountable without some Blue or Red witch trial and figure out a better plan forward.

They'll probably find out he's a lone wolf. Picked on. Was geeky.
If they lived on this planet for 20 years, there are a lot of layers to the onion on them.

And anybody not considering the Mental Health angle would be kidding themselves.

I was making a point about the mainstream media.
Didn’t know that had to go into the dreaded politics Forum.
Oh well…

Edit
Finally finished reading your short story….
I was just commenting on the GENERAL lack of coverage in the initial hours.
If AOC had her ear sniped, that’s all we would see on the news INSTANTLY, and for days.
Just my opinion, and I don’t tread often into the politics Forum……..stinks in there.

I dunno where you guys are getting your news updates, but a little before 5pm yesterday, about 30 minutes after the incident, I was getting news alerts from several news sources on my phone, including CNN, FOX, Newsbreak, LA Times, NY Times, Forbes and WaPO, all with most recent info on an "attempted assassination of Pres. Trump"...
