Why Trump's Raised Fist After Surviving Assassination Attempt Is Triggering the Liberal Media

On July 13, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. It led to an iconic image of the former president, who had just escaped death from a would-be assassin, perched less than 200 yards from the stage, raising his fist in defiance, face bloody, telling his supporters to “fight.” It’s become a viral sensation. It’s also made some media photographers and editors queasy because—get this—it could hurt Biden and give “free PR” to Trump.

You can’t make this up. They’re afraid to do their jobs because it could hurt the Democrats. This is precisely what’s wrong with the industry and what the late Andrew Breitbart referred to as the “Democrat-media complex” (via Axios):

“Photoganda” Are these people serious? Not that it needs to be rehashed, but this attitude is why you guys got thrashed for not doing your job when it came to reporting on Joe Biden’s rapidly deteriorating condition. You didn’t want to hurt the Democrats, which was the primary motivator. No one believes the Biden staff guardrails or fear of losing access reasons. Losing access is a concern, but it’s also not an excuse not to do your job. Nothing is kept secret for long in Washington, so anyone with cognitive function roundly rejected this veil of impenetrable secrecy excuse the media doled out concerning their coverage of the Biden White House.

Axios: a "photo editor" at a "major news outlet" suggests media should bury the photo of Trump raising his fist because it's "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."

Journalists trying to convince other journalists to stop spreading photos from a major news event because it would hurt Biden politically, nbd. https://t.co/6fPQx8I3Ic— Sunny (@sunnyright) July 16, 2024

The photos we took can hurt Biden and the Democrats, so we shouldn’t use them. Yes, let’s smother history to feed our political bias. Such a corrupt and sad group of people.

Only OK when they do it. I took the "Fight, fight, fight" as a clarion call to fight for the country's soul. To protect what is good and right and push back against what is nihilistic, perverse, and degenerate. I think that is what scares most leftists. They live in a perpetual state of fear, anger, and hate.

That moment in Butler, Pa will be a seminal moment in our country's history. When providence smiled on the USA we were once again given a chance by our creator for a course correction.

To quote Rush L, "We need not understand them but defeat them". When you have people on the other side of the aisle arguing about silliness like what is a Boy or Girl.

The left appropriated God’s rainbow and the GOP’s blue party designation. We can steal something too.

This is the perfect graffiti opportunity. Every BLM poster and black power image should be tagged with Fight Fight Fight.

Once again I will ask this question.

The bullet is seen passing behind Trump’s head, from Trump’s right to left. The assassin was on a roof straight ahead of Trump. The SS Snipers were on a roof to Trump’s right.

How did the assassin’s bullet make a 90 degree turn ?

“media: awww, how come our candidate doesn’t get shot at?”

Taking Cho BiDung out via sniper is not something that would even occur to our side. But now that the left has opened that door, I hope that the Kenyan Mulatto, Holder, Rice, et al are looking over their respective shoulders more often as well as repurposing additional funds for increased personal security. I wonder if the additional bodies around them are FedGov employees or very highly paid private security.
