You do realize that everybody in the media gets their news source from the AP right? Did you not know this?

Exact same thing the corporate news media did with the ‘24 election.

When I saw the video, and the way he went limp. I knew it was instant.
But I wanted to believe the updates from GB.

it was also perfectly clear JFK was dead on impact too.
JFKs head came off though..

But I do agree when you see the amount of blood that was lost after impact, you could tell there was just no way he was surviving that.

The docs still tried to give it a shot. And then they wanted all the family to be notified first.

Of course they gave a bleeding man blood on the way to the hospital.


I highly doubt they administered a transfusion in the back of a Tahoe on the way to the hospital. He likely had a faint pulse upon arrival and they gave him blood before calling it. I don't think the AP purposefully lied about it. I think they were reporting the update from Charlie's team.

Shitty reporting and unreliable sources. Or using random twitter posts as “sources.” Who knows. Everyone wants to be the the outlet with the “scoop.” They don’t really care if their accurate

Making sure all of the family was formed and didn’t have to see it on tv. That’s pretty common protocol.

Again, the AP was just reporting on the update from his team.

Immediately reminded me of when they lost contact with the IdiotSquisher/Submarine and were waiting for contact to magically be restored.

It wasn’t a lie.
He had a fatal wound but wasn’t killed “instantly”

He probably still had some level of vital signs when he got in the ambulance and died later.

That’s how a lot of fatal gunshot wounds work. Instant death the moment the bullet strikes is not as common as you think.

I’ve worked in ERs before and have seen gunshots right through the brain that had zero chance of survival but the person still took hours or even longer before they actually died.

They were racing to be the first ones out with the latest news and never took the time to validate it

I was watching the fricking videos of the youtubers on the actual AP news website reading it line by line including Megyn Kelly, Mark whatever his name is, Vince, etc etc etc

They were all getting the information from the AP News site who were reporting fake news.
