Flipped on TV to see weather channel and caught two min. of "The View"--who are taking EVERYTHING about this

"assassination attempt" at totally face value, bemoaning language toward Trump (I heard no mention of HIS horrific inciting posts and language, though they probably got into it later), but it felt like a regurgitation of everything Trump wanted in the media.

So, no matter what, this appears to be a big "success" attention-wise for TSF. Almost like a Priest absolving his sins.

No one bled here. They caught a kook with a gun. This story has been milked to death already.

. . .anti-Trump speeches without also listing the hateful, extremist, and utterly false characterizations of Harris and Walz (and other public figures) spewing from Trump and his acolytes is a MAGA propagandist, whether they intend to be or not.
