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?
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.

I saved my copy.... The communists can do whatever to heck they want with theirs....LOL
They can give the photo to Getty Photos as they will sue everyone who runs it.
Too late. That iconic picture is probably going to be remembered world-wide for several generations.
Another freeper posted in another thread a picture of the flag raising at Iwo Jima with the American flag cutout. And the statement was today’s news media would claim that was a bunch of men planting a fence post.

The NYTs was running the photo but cropped out the flag.
Speaking of which I commend Jim or whoever’s decision it was to adorn FR with said image. Just makes me like it here even more....class!
It’s what they did with the Twin Towers photo in 2001.
They tried to remove the fall of the twin towers. This won’t work either. American entrepreneurial ship will put the image on T-shirts, caps and bumper sticker. I just bought my “I’m voting for the Felon T-shirt”
The image is iconic. Truly great photojournalism. But we live in the video age. The video will get wide circulation and it’s also very moving - shows courage and character in the face of the worst adversity. Fight, Fight, Fight!
create a political cartoon of the shooter being the MSM
They seem also to have removed the clip from a few years ago of Brandon hitting a golf ball about 5 yards into a low stone wall.
“today’s news media would claim that was a bunch of men planting a fence post”
while sliding on the mud...
Lol.
I want it on a shirt with the fight quote. I hope Trump has the rights to the photo.
way too late. people have already seen it.
Kids in Africa are recreating trump yelling fight fight fight as they try to usher him off the stage.
It’s too late they’ll be selling dinner plates with that image
Yup. State sponsored hit by the CIA.
Time to put it on T-Shirts.
