Also refuse to show iconic picture of defiant Trump in face of death
Shortly after the attempted assassination of former President Trump on Saturday, July 13, many mainstream headlines were already trying to downplay or lie about the event.
Here is one compilation. (Note Elon Musk explaining, “The legacy media is a pure propaganda machine.”)

So check these out: Washington Post: “Trump escorted away after loud noises at rally”
ABC: “Loud noises ring out in crowd”
NBC: “Popping noises”
USA Today: “Loud noises startles former president, crowd”
They eventually realized “incident” wouldn’t fly so they’ve settled on “investigated as assassination attempt”.
Serious question: Is there someone putting out a script or do they all just end up writing the same headlines because their brains have been uniformly brainwashed? pic.twitter.com/LCf95qCXUR

MSNBC: “Trump falls at rally”
New York Times: “Trump escorted away after loud noises”
Fake news caught red handed. Pay attention. PsyWar master class in progress https://t.co/kQvddLkwPj

One cheeky tweet pointed out what a “fall” is and isn’t.
Hey @CNN,
One of these is a “fall.” The other is survival.
Spot the difference. pic.twitter.com/4t1jDL94XW

Here a woman claims to be in Times Square, and NO monitors were reporting the attempted assassination, at that time.
I am in the center of Times Square.
Not a single video monitor reporting that President Trump has been shot.
The depth of the censorship and propaganda is astounding. pic.twitter.com/e5u9fG7HMc

Here a reporter with Turning Point Action asked NBC correspondent Kristen Welker about the “popping noises” coverage, but she and her team refused all comments.
I just confronted Kristen Welker of @NBCNews and asked her what her response was to NBC’s reporting that the attempted assassination against President Donald Trump was just “popping noises”
She refused to comment as did the rest of the NBC crew in tow | @TPAction_ pic.twitter.com/sZvWeDLekS

The depths of the dishonesty in much of our legacy media is astounding. The first step to solving a problem is admitting there is a problem, and exposing the lies is one crucial step on the long march back toward civility and reason in our culture.
