On Oct. 29, 2020, WFLA News published a story about a rally for U.S. President Donald Trump held outside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Twitter users pointed out that the headline appeared to be misleading: It was, in fact, the Florida heat, not water pressure from the fire truck water, that was the reason for the hospitalizations. NBC News reported that 17 people were hospitalized for heat-related reasons: The Tampa Bay Times wrote that an unrelenting sun baked down on Trump’s attendees. It also published: At one point Tampa Fire Rescue firefighters opened up a hose on a fire truck at the back of the event, shooting a plume of water into the air that enveloped much of the venue in a refreshing mist. Zac Anderson with the Herald-Tribune tweeted a video of the water spraying into the air: WFLA News updated the headline to read: Trump supporters sprayed with fire truck water at MAGA rally due to heat, 12 people transported to hospital.
