TV coverage of the shooting of President Trump, 7/13/2024

MSNBC has announced it will pre-empt its regular Morning Joe show on Monday, and instead continue its breaking news coverage of the Trump shooting:


MSNBC will not air “Morning Joe,” its celebrated politics roundtable program, on Monday, opting to instead air continued breaking news coverage of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The progressive news network confirmed the decision to preempt its influential and top-rated morning show after a CNN inquiry Sunday evening. The network said the show will resume airing Tuesday.

Speaking of MSNBC, seeing some of their coverage just a few mins ago, it appears NBC is giving affiliates an option to simulcast them in the overnight considering they have the NBC News Special Report graphic on the bottom of the screen.
 
Here in Denver I tuned into KDVR around 7:20 pm Saturday night and they had Fox News coverage on. I don't know if they showed any of the baseball game before that.
 
I tuned over to Newsmax for a bit around 10 pm EST Saturday night and Greg Kelly was showing the point the shooting happened over and over and putting the blame on the democrats already.

i was just telling a friend last night, some of the pro trump networks would ignore the fact the shooter was a registered republican and made a donation to a republican cause recently

Online fans I'm seeing aren't happy. There's really no more "breaking news" to be had at this point. Investigations will take weeks

That's what I saw yesterday. The only real news yesterday was the release of the name. But the news channels were in breaking news mode all day, just repeating the story from Saturday.

Half right.

"Crooks’ political leanings were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day Biden was sworn into office."

id be upset too. treat me like an adult and tell me what you don't want me to say. Thats what PDs, NDs, GMs do...... theyd been in breaking news mode for over 24 hours.. probably been beating the story to a pulp and at this point, morning joe felt discussion of the event in general terms and other news was a better idea than continued ad nauseum discussion of this event.

Someones trying to kiss but or attract a certain audience by doing what MSNBC did (and no, im not pro trump
 
It seemed like they showed the actual event several times. I did need to study it because the people in the crowd, unlike those of us watching a recording, did not know what was happening and they had to react. I didn't think they reacted all that quickly considering what was happening, but maybe it wasn't loud enough for them to realize right away.

The official video of the event really only showed the podium. So you didn't see the wider shot of the bleachers, where the man was killed and the others were injured. They were out of view from that camera. What you also don't see are the secret service snipers on a building behind the podium shooting and killing the assassin. The minute he fired, they fired at him and got him pretty instantly. Otherwise there would have been more deaths.

I wondered why I couldn't see the man who was killed. But what I saw seemed to show a lot of people.
