An editor at a major news outlet wants the press to stop using the iconic photo of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump because it represents 'free PR' for his campaign.
The unnamed editor told Axios that sharing the historic photo of the former president standing after he survived the attempt on his life is 'dangerous despite how good it is.' Their outlet wasn't named either, but it said to receive millions of regular readers.
Liberal-leaning Axios reported that multiple unnamed photographers told them they were worried the image taken by Pulitzer winner Evan Fucci could turn into 'photoganda' by the Trump campaign to 'further their agenda, despite the photographers' intent of capturing a news event.'
One photographer said the photo could become a 'propaganda machine' and make Trump a 'martyr.'
The photograph of a bloodied Donald Trump with his fist in the air and an American flag looming in the background is quickly emerging as the pivotal image of Saturday’s shooting.
Video of the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally filled television screens before it was even clear what had happened.

Too late, it’s been seen globally.
“the image taken by Pulitzer winner Evan Fucci”
What a crock. A virtually identical image can be extracted with standard frame capture software from any number of video feeds.
Good luck trying to claim rights to that Image.
The point, I believe
is not so much the image
itself. I’ts what it
portrays. A defiant Trump.
Many accusations against
this man and he has the
fortitude to press his
desire to bring this
great country back on
it’s wheels. Brilliant
reaction by Trump.
with one photo, trump has transferred a political bullseye from
himself to his deep state opponents. it’s a cruel world...
Does this Pulitzer Prize winning photographer follow Trump around as a general thing? Why was he there that particular day.
That is true! Trying to suppress the photo only makes it more famous.
Then make a political cartoon of this “editor” pulling the trigger.
No you idiot, what’s getting him free PR is he survived a assassination attempt and popped back up like the legend he is. The photo is merely confirmation.

If SS had done their job correctly, that photo wouldn’t exist.
It was taken from the photographer’s camera, so it’s his property. There weren’t any video feeds from a camera at the foot of those steps.
What is the name of the news outlet.
It’s amazing what these dopes ascribe Trump’s popularity to - a physical photograph rather than what that photograph captures and represents. - his courage, resilience, and patriotism.
One more thought: that photo also represents how Trump has withstood another kind of assassination - one perpetrated by the media itself. It’s an assassination of his character, through the lies and half truths parroted by morons like that. Trump has bravely survived this character assassination, and that photo angers the media and the Left, because it represents their failure.
I posted that iconic Trump Braveheart photo on my Facebook page and I couldn’t believe it. A Biden supporter responded that the photo was staged! They are useful idiots!
United States🇺🇸 citizens (NOT “America”🌑) vs. The World 🌑 Antichrist system.
That’s what we’re up against.
And stop using the word “America” propaganda as a World 🌑 substitute for the United States🇺🇸.
Has Evan Fucci profusely apologized for taking that photo, yet?
Soon as Trump hits the deck, you see a photographer jump up in front of the dais, snap a pic and scoot away.
Who is this person that’s allowed to get that close at that time?
