Forbes has taken down a piece by their early career contributor Shaun R. Harper, titled “Will Surviving Gunfire Be Donald Trump’s Next Appeal To Black Voters?” I spoke with Harper who said he stands by the piece, which he said had been submitted for review, and felt it was unceremoniously removed. pic.twitter.com/gNa1CS5liW

The media’s refusal to accurately label the events surrounding the attack on Trump as an attempted assassination underscores their bias and desire to downplay the gravity of the situation. By using softer language like “shooting” or “attack,” they diminish the severity of the assault and fail to convey the true nature of the incident.
It is crucial for media outlets to report the news accurately and responsibly, especially when it comes to such significant events. Failing to properly characterize the assassination attempt on Trump only serves to perpetuate misinformation and distort the public’s perception of the incident.
