The incident, which was not made public for 22 hours

He was shot around 6:50PM and was in a abulance to the hospital at 7:20PM.

Meaning it was made public within 20 minutes at the most.

The incident, which was not made public for 22 hours

Correction: The incident, which was not made public spoon fed to the Washington press corps for 22 hours....

There, that's better.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A newspaper is supposed to be the first draft of history. This is an example of the first rewrite.
And, what this paper is trying to do is establish this 22 hour lie as the basis for continuing stories on the Veep, which will always include a graph like, "the secretive, phantomlike vice president is still nursing the public relations blunder of hiding the shooting story for almost a full day..."
