The Media Won't Gaslight Us Into Feeling Sorry for Trump [View all]

Like clockwork, it started moments after the alleged shooting at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Rather than simply report the facts, corporate media rushed to manufacture a narrative—one about unity, about rallying behind Donald Trump, about how “presidential” he suddenly was in this moment, how he behaved so “heroically.”

And to the extent they were reporting facts, they were getting those wrong too.

We saw early false reports that the alleged shooter—now identified as Cole Allen—was dead. That wasn’t true. But accuracy wasn’t the priority. The priority was framing. And the frame was clear: soften Trump, humanize Trump, elevate Trump.
