25% : CBS News and others covered the attempted assassination using photos of Trump in court, rather than the iconic photos taken moments after the first attempt on his life in Pennsylvania, which journalists have denounced as "dangerous" propaganda.
24% : Peter Baker of the New York Times wrote that the gunman's decision to target Trump was indicative of "how much the American political landscape has been shaped by anger stirred by [Trump] and against him.
