The media has manufactured its latest controversy about the Trump campaign by blowing a heated altercation out of proportion.
News outlets have run wild today with footage of a reporter for Time magazine being knocked to the ground by a member of the Secret Service at a Trump rally. The implication is that the GOP frontrunner is running an aggressive campaign that brings out the worst in people and has potential to turn violent at any moment.
But as other videos documenting the series of events leading up to that incident attest, if anybody was violent, it was the reporter. Footage shows Morris getting unnecessarily close to the Secret Service agent, brushing up against him as if he were trying to push him out of the way. He is also clearly heard to say “f*ck you” to the agent.
But that’s not what people are seeing on the news: what they’re seeing is Morris lying on the floor as the agent stands over him, and they most certainly did not see what he did next.

He should of hooked this dude up
take that liberal shitrag magazine f**e journalist,
You guys really need to get a decent web designer. I see your content a lot, and it seems interesting, but at least on a mobile device, your website is simply too crappy to try and read.
The Secret Service does not ‘attack’ anyone.
Rod Thomas Did you see the video?
If this had taken place at Hillary, Berni or Ted Cruz rally, you would have never known any thing about it. You can not blame Donald for the behavior of the reporter or the agent. The reporter was stupid for getting in the agents face to begin with. There are some things in life you just don’t do. One of them is screwing with a Secret Service Agent. The reporter knows he was wrong and that is why he is not pressing charges.
I Would Choke a secret service if he slams me on the floor
Secret service man was at the wrong first
I’m so disappointed in our secret service. How is this guy not broken in half? How do these idiots keep jumping the White House fence and live to tell about it? I was always under the impression that you’d be dead before you hit the ground if you even tried it. Remember the WH party crashers?
I don’t care what your political parties are, these guys are not doing their jobs!
Agreed, however, we seem to be living in this strange environment where anything you do to protect or defend yourself can land you in jail. The guilty party will go free. Look, police can’t even do their jobs anymore. I suppose it applies to SS as well.
Linda Ross Thomas Nope.
