Report: 95% of Major Network Coverage of Trump Was Negative After Second Assassination Attempt
By: Olivia Rondeau, Breitbart News, Sep 19, 2024:
Establishment media coverage of former President Donald Trump was found to be 95 percent negative following the second attempt on his life, according to a Media Research Center (MRC) analysis.
ABC, CBS, and NBC News all broadcasted overwhelmingly negative commentary on the Republican presidential candidate after Sunday’s thwarted shooting at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida, MRC found.
“A look at the first 72 hours of coverage on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts — Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights — finds that while the attempted assassination dominated campaign coverage, these networks’ anti-Trump spin was nearly as bad as it could be: 95 percent negative, vs. just five percent positive,” wrote MRC contributing editor Rich Noyes.
While the attempted assassination allegedly perpetrated by 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh made up 70 percent of campaign news airtime at all three networks, 20 out of the 21 evaluative comments reviewed by the center were negative towards Trump.
After Secret Service agents thwarted Routh’s by shooting at him as he allegedly waited to get a shot at Trump, he said that “communist left rhetoric” was to blame:
Over on NBC, Lester Holt related the “apparent” assassination attempt to Trump’s “rhetoric” just hours after the would-be gunman was taken into custody:
“Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself. Mr. Trump [and] his running mate JD Vance continued to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio,” the anchor said.
During CBS’s Monday night broadcast, Norah O’Donnell fired back at Trump’s claim that leftist rhetoric is what fanned the flames of violence against him:
“Donald Trump is blaming Democrats for inflaming political rhetoric, but the former president’s own words seem to be increasing the threat of political violence in Springfield, Ohio,” she said. “That’s where a false and ugly accusation against Haitians, thousands of whom are legal permanent residents, is impacting everyday life.”
In a similar vein, NBC reporter Garrett Haake argued that Trump “has also used incendiary language against Democrats”:
“These networks gave relatively little time to the accusation that these attempted shootings might have been influenced by Democratic rhetoric painting Trump as an existential threat,” MRC said.
“Out of 48 minutes of coverage of the attempted shooting, the three networks spent less than two minutes (1 minute, 53 seconds) on the possibility that Democrats could share the blame.”

Here’s some Democrat rhetoric about President Donald J. Trump:
- Kamala Harris said repeatedly, “Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.”
- Kamala Harris said, “It’s on us to recognize the threat [Donald J. Trump] poses.”
- Kamala Harris, in video above, said, “Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha, ha, ha!”
- Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. stated, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
- Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. said, “I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation.”

- Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. said, “Trump is a genuine threat to this nation…He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for. “
- Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. stated, “Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”
- Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. said, “Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic…and that is a threat to this country.”
- Tim Walz said, “Buy-buy, Donald Trump.”
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “[Trump] is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen.”
- Rep. Jasmine Crockett, “MAGA in general – they are threats to us domestically.”
- Rep. Dan Goldman, “He is destructive to our democracy…he has to be eliminated.”
- Harris staffer T.J. Ducklo, “Trump is an existential, urgent threat to our democracy.”
- Top Harris surrogate Liz Cheney, “Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis.”

The Bottom Line
To date there have been two assassination attempts on the life of Kamala Harris’ political opponent.
The most recent is by a Democrat would-be assassin named Ryan Routh.
Ryan Routh made at least 19 donations to the Democrat fundraising organization ActBlue.
Routh’s social media is riddled with Trump hate, recruiting people to go fight for Ukraine, pleas for Taiwan and anti-Israel content. He was looking for revolutionaries to take the whole system down.
An agent, who was part of Trump’s surveillance team, opened fire at about 2 p.m., the source told The Post.
The would-be gunman Routh, who was in a tree line just off from Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, fled.
Authorities later found a GoPro camera and the assault rifle, according to sources.
Officials told CNN that the shots fired were intended to harm the former president, contrary to earlier reports. The New York Post had initially reported that two persons had been firing at each other and were not targeting Trump.
As Marcus Tullius Cicero said, “The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.”
Are you still wondering how we got to this point?
Well it all started with Kamala Harris in 2018!
Kamala Harris openly joked about assassinating President Trump in 2018 as an audience of lobotomized clapping seals cheered on the Ellen Show.
This is what happens when “leaders” are not careful in how they speak.
WATCH: Remember when Kamala joked on TV about killing Trump. Do you still wonder how we got here?
So Kamala and her lesbian host Ellen had a great laugh about it. Ha, ha, ha!
QUESTION: If any Republican, or Donald J. Trump, went on live television and joked about assassinating Kamala Harris, or any Democrat for that matter, what do your think the legacy media would do?
ANSWER: They would go wild with conspiracy theories and viciously condemn their comments.
But if a Democrat or Kamala does it they get a free pass.
I remember the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He, like President Trump, was beloved. He, like Trump, hated Communism. JFK, like Donald Trump, was a life-time member of the National Rifle Association. RFK, like Trump was pro-American and anti-crime.
As Ronald Reagan said in his October 27, 1964 “A Time for Choosing Speech,“:
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used, “We’ve never had it so good.”
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn’t something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector’s share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in. We haven’t balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We’ve raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world. We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury; we don’t own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars. And we’ve just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it’s been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it’s time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
I was a JFK Democrat. I didn’t leave the party, the party left me!
Today, 60-years later, we say that it is definitely a time for choosing.
Choose wisely on November 5th to save America and our Constitutional Republic.
