Axios is reporting that an unnamed editor of a ‘major news outlet’ is advising the media not to use the now iconic image of Trump defiantly raising his fist after the attempt on his life this weekend.

This editor recognizes the inherent power of the image and believes that it helps Trump.

Apparently, the NYT is doing it the old fashioned way...

AP photo that will be/is iconic:

Now, what the NYT displays (if you need help, something is conspicuously missing):

Why, its just like how they did it in the 'Old Country':

Just like the Media made the video of the 9-11 Twin Tower jumpers go away, because it would help the Republicans.

They're already cropping the flag from the Trump photo.

Joe needs to plagiarize a similar photo. Maybe being roasted by cannibals, slashed with straight razors, hand to hand combat behind the gym, or other tales of false bravado.

I’ve heard it said — accurately — that elections are won on soundbites and single photos.

Reagan 1980, to Jimmy Carter: “Well, there you go again.”

Reagan 1984, to Mondale: “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience!”

George HW Bush, 1992, his comment in 1988 coming back to haunt him: “Read my lips. No new taxes.”

Also, 1992. Perot. “Giant sucking sound.”

This photo is an election winner.

Oh, and liberals all want Trump DEAD because him not being dead really helps Trump (and us).

Unnamed Editor of ‘Major News Outlet’ can run this one instead. It's the state of America since January, 2021 (though this is from 2022)

"The media" can't stop folks on the internet from disseminating the photo.

And in fact it will be thoroughly disseminated without any definite organized effort or central control.

That's the beauty of it.

Of course the image of Trump raising his fist in defiance beneath the flag helps him, no question. But an attempt at grievous harm with extreme prejudice had just been directed at him personally.

The NYT staff also probably believes wholeheartedly that, like many on the liberal plantation, it was “too bad” the shooter missed, though nobody working for NYT would admit that opinion publicly. Nor will they even refer to the death of the man in the crowd, or the two critically wounded by the scattered slugs. even as collateral damage. No compassion, no pity, no remorse.

But them, likely that few of the same NYT staff believes in divine intervention, either, and that was on display for all to see.

How about asking WHY the NYT had a photographer there from filming with hi speed film at the instant a Bullet went by?

I had read the Stalin was only about 5’5”. So in that photo he must have been wearing some Deniro soles, or standing on something.

Reagan 1980, to Jimmy Carter: “Well, there you go again.”

Reagan was a master of setting up the still shot. I remember once when Gromyko was visiting from the USSR, the photo of Reagan had him with both hands on the shorter Gromyko's shoulders, guiding him. Gromyko looking slightly confused and/or concerned, and Reagan looking confident and assured.

My favorite Trump photo is when he has Romney for dinner, and Romney looks embarrassed and sheepish, with Trump having the time of his life.

How about the picture the media uses of the freak who shot Trump? It’s probably his 6th grade school picture. They love to use that one because in it he’s wearing a Mt. Rushmore shirt. I think there’s also an American flag on the shirt.
