So was Trump's ear hit by a bullet or a riccochet shard from something the bullet hit first?
Surely there are people who know for sure. But there's not a hint of disclosure one way or the other, and Big Journalism has made it clear that it doesn't care to find out.
It was a bad scene either way, a close call. That isn't the issue.
The issue is whether this withholding of basic facts is the norm. In Trump world, it is.
Why are journalists so meek with Trump, so demanding of others?
