BTW, since you didn't care to mention it, there were eleven news people who were beat up too.

I did not know that, having not followed the details of the investigation/prosecution process.

It's not surprising though, since a standard feature of Trump's kayfabe is the pointing out of “the fake news media” taunting and insulting them with childish insults, and encouraging his audience to do the same.

It's the 'pro-wrestling' formula and it works well with Trump's cult.

Pure kayfabe: Trump good, MAGA good, journalists baaaaaaaad.

"The Trump campaign’s antipathy towards the media is not itself new. Trump has long dubbed any media that is critical of him “fake news,” using the term as many as 2,000 times during his presidency. However, his diatribes against the press have grown more threatening and increasingly encourage audience participation, potentially increasing the possibility of a violent confrontation between his political supporters and the media."
