Rhetoric After the Donald Trump Assassination Attempt
|
Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the intersection of media, tech and culture. Inevitably, politics often seeps into that, as is the case this week. If you enjoy this newsletter, take out a paid subscription. Want more politics? Check out my podcast House of Comments. It is also another great way to get the paid version of this newsletter. If you sign up via Patreon, you get this newsletter, my co-host Emma Burnell's newsletter and the extra episodes for £5 a month. After a busy Saturday in central London with a friend and then a trip to the gym (I know, but there’s no point going to the gym unless you tell everyone,) I settled down for the evening to watch the New York Yankees game. As it finished, my TV flicked over to CNN and the news that Donald Trump had nearly been assassinated. Others had seen the attack not on a replay, but live. In many ways, the incident summed up our entire political and media era - polarised and playing out on television and online. Trump made it a media moment too, having the instinct to pose for the bloodied image that has now been seen around the world. |
