The WaPo headline: "Trump rushed offstage after loud noises heard at Pa. rally."
NY Times: "Donald Trump Is ‘Safe’ After What Sounded Like Gunshots at Rally"
CNN: "Trump injured in incident at Pennsylvania rally."
MSNBC, of all places, was on par with the Times' descriptive headline and said "Trump rushed off stage as shots fired at rally."
Now ask yourself what the headlines would be if this had been anyone the media favors in the election. How many opinion columns would be written? How many solemn segments would find MSNBC hosts lecturing the American people about what a dark day this is for democracy?
How many CNN pundits would flood the channel with stark warnings and emotive, bad-faith grandstanding?
None of that's going to happen. Because Orange Man Bad. Whatever course correction you thought the media took after the debate, this is reminding us, in the words of Dennis Green, "they are who we thought they were."

He just shrugged it off!
Whatever doesn't kill him makes him stronger!
