Our propaganda-driven fake news media is facing a real dilemma. For once, they actually did their job and reported the truth about the moment President Trump was shot. Unfortunately for them, the truth of who Trump really is and his reaction to facing down death resonated too well with the American people, turning him into an even bigger icon.

That’s not what our regime-run media is supposed to do, so now they’re scrambling to figure out ways to dial it down and downplay that iconic photo, and they think they’ve come up with the perfect solution.

 

Bury the photo…

The media is fretting over photos of a bloodied Trump, just shot in the head, fearing they might actually make Americans “feel something.” The irony here is that the fake news media is branding the truth as “propaganda.” This is classic mind control at work: don’t believe what really happened—just swallow our version. It’s no wonder many Americans suspect the CIA is pulling the mainstream media’s strings. Can you blame them?

Axios:

30 of the top 50 local news websites featured the historic photo, or a very similar shot, from AP’s Evan Vucci of a defiant Trump raising his fist in the air on their homepage Saturday evening.

  • Meanwhile, national outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Times featured pictures from their own photographers, Jabin Botsford and Doug Mills, on their homepages. The NYT’s Mills took the incredible photo of a bullet whizzing by Trump’s ear that’s gone viral online.
  • Other local homepages featured images from other AP photographers, such as Gene Puskar, or other photos from Vucci. Several featured photos from Getty’s Anna Moneymaker, who took the emotional shot of Trump bleeding and on the ground.

The big picture: With only a limited number of outlets attending the rally, many national newsrooms also had to rely on reporting, video and photography on the ground from a few major outlets.

Yes, but: The overuse of the same photos, eyewitness videos and reporting from the ground can also pose risks.

  • Multiple photographers worried privately in conversations with Axios’ Aïda Amer that the viral images from the rally could turn into a kind of “photoganda,” with the Trump campaign using them to further their agenda despite the photographers’ intent of capturing a news event.
  • A photo editor and photographer from a major news outlet said the “amount that publications have been using Evan’s photo is kind of free PR for Trump in a way, and it’s dangerous for media organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is.”

So, just to be clear, according to the legacy media, sharing a real image from a poignant moment in US history is now “photoganda”? The photo isn’t edited or fake. It’s the reality that scares our media more than anything else, and that should frighten every single American citizen. Now, just imagine if this were Joe Biden. Do you think our lousy media would be worried about images being “used the wrong way?” Probably not. Remember, no one in the media cared how the January 6 photos were twisted into a pretzel to paint “armed” and “violent” Trump supporters as trying to overthrow the US government. Hogwash. But suddenly, photos, which they took, of a former president being shot are labeled “propaganda.” If you needed more proof that our media is overrun by regime loyalists, this should do it.

And about those chilling images the propaganda media wants to hide or destroy, consider this: a haunting photo of President Trump’s shoe, left behind on stage after the assassination attempt.

Here’s another slice of irony: Every one of those photojournalists probably regrets snapping photos the moment Trump was shot. Sure, it’s their job, and they kind of had to take pictures, but now that those images are spreading like wildfire and showing Trump’s true strength and leadership, they wish they could squash them. The truth makes Trump look too good, and that’s unsettling for the media. This is just further proof that our media is crafting an entire false “reality” for swathes of Americans who are too gullible and lazy to realize they’re being manipulated at every level.
