No, I don't remember that. Maybe you should cite your source. I seem to remember every major news outlet labeling the event as an assassination attempt, some noted that the shooter mentioned Epstein on social media.

Maybe you weren't paying attention and didn't see the "Trump led away after loud noises at rally" crap. The headlines and Google searches eventually aligned with obvious reality but it took a couple of days. This information is not terribly easy to find for most people so I'll help you out: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2024/07/13/media-rea...

It did not take a couple days. Btw that conservative news site you linked which cites tweets as its sources cited their own tweet first.

Yes, in fact I think it took a week. I was being generous. I assume the site is citing their own tweet to generate views and to make people aware of their Twitter presence. So what? The info is there as requested. You're welcome.

The info is not there. Misinformation, sure.

CNN published this headline one day after.

"How the assassination attempt on Trump unfolded"

>CNN published this headline one day after.

Yeah yeah they edit these headlines and articles in real time. Even Archive.org cannot keep up with news, and they do nothing for search results which is what I was talking about. By the way, the Internet Archive was mysteriously down for several weeks during election season after Trump's multiple assassination attempts, and I don't buy their story either.

>The info is not there. Misinformation, sure.

You only provided one CNN link, which was likely modified in real time. The memory hole is real.

The mainsteam denial went on for quite a while. They first questioned whether he was shot, then they questioned the obvious motive of the assassin with stupid crap like "It is unclear what the shooter's motive was, or if it was political." To be fair a high-ranking FBI official was muddying the water and the media is practically obligated to take that seriously ( https://nypost.com/2024/07/25/us-news/fbi-director-christoph... for example). But take your lame apologetics elsewhere. I saw this unfold in real time by the hour, as a case study in propaganda and gaslighting.

Edit: Your trolling is testing the rate limit. Here's your reply, jerk:

>Nope, the article headline was not modified in real time. But you don't care because you are only interested in information that confirms your delusion.

You are arguing with me about stuff I watched very carefully with my own eyes only a few months ago. Take your snotty attitude and gaslighting elsewhere. Do not reply to me again on anything political, ever.

Nope, the article headline was not modified in real time. But you don't care because you are only interested in information that confirms your delusion.

> refused to acknowledge the assassination attempt, saying that he was hit by something not directed at him?

That’s usually what happens when news orgs only report confirmed information, e.g. “Trump hit by projectile”. It feels misleading but it’s accurate at the time.

If you’re literally saying they were specifically stating he was hit by something “not directed at him” (as opposed to “not confirmed whether it was directed at him”) I’d be fascinated to see some examples.

It was one of his hotels in Las Vegas. The Trump Tower is in NYC, but your point is valid none the less.
