Failed Trump Assassination Attempt

[Ca.]

MSM spin and continue down the doom spiral with the next bit of shocking prime-time "news".

Notice the recent shootings and stabbings draws the general population's attention away from that reality.

Before anyone can even rationally think about the "newest thing", there's already another event happening to make you forget the last one.

It's like what may have been recounted by Suskind, allegedly to be from Karl Rove:

The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

Trump was nearly assassinated. Fingers pointed here and there. A Biden coup. Harris pushed to the fore - the media shifts. One news cycle dies and is then rewoven and refocused anew.

In 2016, many studied events for the next four years, and then covid and now another four years has passed as study, and really, we are much in the same place with different people and different contrasts. Fundamentally, we have no real press and, people have short attention spans. If asked if covid were to start again tomorrow, would many forget and follow as they once did? Think that they might, and that is sad if so.
