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.

Surprised he didn’t call it a Nazi salute.
Evan Vucci is a professional photojournalist who was on an assignment, doing his job.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar .......
America’s MSM is so repugnant.
That, and the photo was taken with a still camera (DSLR) with high quality lens.
No video frame capture could ever match the quality of a DSLR still, (except perhaps a high speed burst from that very same DSLR) ... and certainly you're not gonna get any sort of comparable quality from an iPhone video.
nope he was on fox telling proudly of how he got the amazing shot he is proud of.
The pic has been scrubbed from internet search engines.....
Good. I am snarky about the media.
Just tried to find any “bloody - fist - Trump” pics on yahoo. Not there. It has been scrubbed. GONE- Get it??
Didn’t they already edit out the American Flag in the background of the image?
I found this iconic photo online in one attempt.

Toss it down the “memory hole.” How 1984 of him.
Libs think in terms of style, conservatives think in terms of substance. That’s why they fall all over themselves to suck up to the Hollywood posers. That’s also why the high-speed, “Been there, done that, got the T-shirt” kinds of people are attractive to conservatives. Or, as one of my FTO’s said when I was in the academy- “There are 2 kinds of people: Those that talk about their business and there are those who are about their business. Which one are you gonna be?”
