"Covered in his own blood" . . . . "The bullet ripped through his flesh" [View all]

Good gawd. Can the media be any more hyperbolic?

MediaMorons: drop the attempts at soaring rhetoric. He was clearly NOT covered in blood. And "ripped through flesh"????????? Puleeze.

You fucking people need to stick to facts and not your own rhetorical chops.
