Media Bias Exposed: Liberal Outlets Downplay Assassination Attempt on Trump

0:00

In the midst of chaos, a disturbing incident unfolded in Butler, Pennsylvania, as Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. Shots were fired from a nearby rooftop, missing the former president’s head by mere inches and striking one attendee, who tragically lost their life. Trump sustained a graze to his right ear and was subsequently hospitalized before being discharged.

Reacting to the incident, Trump expressed gratitude to the Secret Service and law enforcement, extended condolences to the victim’s family, and emphasized the unknown nature of the shooter. However, CBS News’ Margaret Brennan took issue with Trump’s response, accusing him of being tone-deaf and failing to acknowledge his supporters’ role in inciting violence.

Samantha Vinograd, another CBS News analyst, revealed that sources within the intelligence community expressed concern that the event could be exploited to foment attacks against the Biden campaign. Brennan cautioned against linking the incident to the government, while Vinograd deemed it “unpatriotic” to discuss the potential consequences, citing the “cauldron of tensions” surrounding the election.

As the segment unfolded, a chorus of criticism emerged, decrying the liberal media’s tendency to peddle biased narratives and patronizing tones. The incident was framed as an opportunity to further demonize Trump and his supporters, rather than a genuine attempt to provide factual context and condolences.

Honorable mention goes to CNN:
