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

So now they want to hide the photos, which I call "Trump, bloodied but unbowed".
What rotten, hateful propagandists they are.

Some of us old coots had to read (or memorize) the poem 'Invictus', which came back to me this weekend, mainly the first and second stanza or verse:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Now THAT is Donald Trump. Read the whole poem if you are younger than 60 and never had to read it in high school! :)

EVERYTHING about Donald Trump triggers the liberal media and has since 2015. How dare an outsider come to Washington and be a better president and leader than their clean, articulate, gay, illegal alien Lightbringer from darkest Africa. Trump created a disease called TDS that affects more people than COVID ever did and it causes permanent brain damage.

I am surprised they are not reporting that by raising a fist, Trump is guilty of culture appropriation.

Maybe Joe could counter with a story like how he singlehandedly fought off a biker gang that were threatening an African American church picnic! No joke!!

I cannot look at that photo without being reminded of the famous WWII photo of our flag being raised on Mount Suribachi. It shouts "courage".

Sometimes people "fight" through injury, illness, disease etc. Why does the media have the say-so on everything?

# 1, that's a PERFECT line from "Invictus." Readers who are not familiar with it, look it up now, and don't wait.

I've said before that the fake news media are not journalists, they're democrat presstitutes. Doing all they can to prop up their chosen candidate. A stumbling, bumbling, mumbling, corrupt, arrogant, evil, half dead man. Who in his 50 plus years in the DC swamp has done NOTHING to benefit We the People. Only to enrich himself and his family. The fake news knee pad wearing clowns know that Biden the Cadaver is not fit to be president and never was. That's why they not only don't want to give "free PR" to PDJT they have to attack him. They don't give a frack that he almost died in part due to their very one sided over ninety-five percent negative reporting. Expect the knee pad wearing presstitutes "triggering" to get worse especially during this week's RNC Convention. Also thank you #2 for bringing up the poem "Invictus." I remember a high school friend of mine reading it in 9 grade English class. Years later I read it while in Iraq while in the military in the early 2000's. Good morning everybody.

"and it's dangerous for media organizations to keep sharing that photo...". Dangerous to what? Biden's re-election chances?

The American people through boycotts and other means should strive to get us a decent media.
The media we have now is more concerned with politics than reporting the news.

How long until the left starts comparing Trump's raised fist to a Nazi salute?
