    Don’t be stupid. They update as it comes in.

    Current headline: “Trump injured in shooting at Pennsylvania rally”

    Maybe check for yourself instead of relying on meme brained “newz”.

    That’s an accurate picture and not a meme. Anyone that watched the video wouldn’t say he fell. Just shows how low CNN will go.

    It’s really reaching to say he “falls”. Anyone that watched that video, even initially cannot say he “falls”.

    Have they updated the article or does it still say that he fell?

    One spectator dead (shooter?), another in serious condition.

    Is this what's important? Whether he "fell" or not?

    A screenshot taken a few minutes after an event, before anything was confirmed, and you are trying to sell that as the totality of their reporting is meme brained and misleading.

    I’m literally watching it right now and they are directly interviewing witnesses. Something they obviously hadn’t had opportunity to do a mere 5 minutes afterwards.

    Are people just too busy celebrating, lamenting, or deeply disappointed to turn their minds towards implications and risks?

    Agreed. In fact, it is proper journalism to write only demonstrated facts in early versions of articles. If they wrote that “SS rushes him off stage after he ducks at rally” that would have been fine too. But this is not the time to be using up one’s finite number of complaints of the media.

    You’re missing the point!
    Libbie media controls the narrative bro.
    They should be very careful about how they operate.

    The implication is that shooter missed by 1/8 of an inch and between this and the debate, Trump is going to win.

    Wish I could place a bet on it.

    No chance of any but a Trump presidency as of now.

    Let's just hope this doesn't lead to more violence.
