Mainstream Media Bias On Full Display Following Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Legacy media outlets are drawing fire for their slanted coverage of the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk yesterday at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Kirk’s assassination in front of a audience of thousands, brought out some of the clearest and most outrageous examples of mainstream media spin and bia to date.
The New York Times played up Kirk’s conservative values while downplaying the political violence of him being shot dead on stage, with the headline “Charlie Kirk, Right-Wing Force and a Close Trump Ally, Dies at 31.”
Mario Nawfal, in a post on X, called out the NY Times bias, writing, “This wasn’t a car crash or a health condition – it was a public execution of a high-profile conservative in America.”
Meanwhile, MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd suggested that the shooting may have been the result of “a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration” and then went on to suggest that Kirk may have brought the deadly violence on himself, describing him as “one of the most especially divisive younger figures.”
Dowd went on to claim that Kirk was “constantly pushing this sort of hate speech, sort of aimed at certain groups” and suggested that “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”
MSNBC later fired Dowd, with MSNBC President Rebeka Kutler denouncing the political analyst’s comments as “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable.”
Kutler added, “We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise.”
Entertainment website TMZ also faced criticism over background cheering and applause captured on mic as Kirk’s death was announced.
Anyone who has been wondering whether the legacy media can be trusted to set their biases aside to report the facts, now knows for certain where they stand.
@ElwoodBlues Rep. Jasmine Crockett referred to Kayla Hamilton, who was killed by an illegal migrant, as a ‘random dead person’ during a fiery Judiciary debate.
California Rep. Adam Schiff dismissed the president’s speech entirely, declining to comment on the lack of applause for Riley's mother. "There was nothing the president had to say that was either factual or truthful," Schiff said.
“Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Harris added, "It is clear from John Kelly's words that Donald Trump is someone who I quote 'certainly falls into the general definition of fascist.'
“Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,” Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee last fall.
MSNBC used Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden in a desperate last-ditch bid to frighten voters into supporting the floundering Democratic ticket.
“Donald Trump is America’s Hitler,” Swalwell said as his first sentence upon taking the mic at the D.C. “No Kings” protest event.
Just last Monday, President Biden himself said it’s “time to put Trump in a bullseye”
NY Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman made remarks last November in an MSNBC interview with former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, saying Trump should be “eliminated” over his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
The official Biden-Harris HQ account also made a post on X in December with the heading “Trump Parrots Hitler” featuring a series of images of Trump and Hitler’s faces juxtaposed with quotes from each, which the campaign alleged were similar.
In March, Rep. Vincente Gonzalez (D-Texas), was the target of strong criticism from Republicans after he compared Trump supporters of Hispanic origin to Jews supporting Hitler.
Trump’s 2016 rival Hillary Clinton threw a few shovelfuls of coal into the fear machine during an appearance on “The View” last November, when she warned a 2024 Trump victory “would be the end of our country as we know it.”
In June of 2019, NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew widespread scorn for her careless language when she accused the Trump administration of running “concentration camps” on the US-Mexico border
Fatalities resulting from attacks by far right wing violent extremists have exceeded those caused by radical Islamist violent extremists in 10 of the 15 years, and were the same in 3 of the years since September 12, 2001. Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent).
And when we move beyond mass shootings, hate crime stats are dominated by hate crimes committed by right-wing extremists:
In November 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released its annual hate crime incident report, which found that in 2017, hate crimes increased by approximately 17 percent, including a 23-percent increase in religion-based hate crimes, an 18-percent increase in race-based crimes, and a 5-percent increase in crimes directed against LGBT individuals. The total number of reported hate crimes rose for the third consecutive year. The previous year's report found that in 2016, hate crimes increased by almost 5 percent, including a 19-percent rise in hate crimes against American Muslims; additionally, of the hate crimes motivated by religious bias in 2016, 53 percent were anti-Semitic. Similarly, the report analyzing 2015 data found that hate crimes increased by 6 percent that year. Much of the 2015 increase came from a 66-percent rise in attacks on American Muslims and a 9-percent rise in attacks on American Jews. In all three reports, race-based crimes were most numerous, and those crimes most often targeted African Americans.
And that's why Trump's own FBI director said that the greatest domestic terrorist threat today is white supremacists. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/10/09/fact-check-did-fbi-director-warn-about-white-supremacist-violence/114251512/
Too little, too late. The left has been ramping up the violence now for years. They can't soft pedal their way out of this. MAGA didn't want this war, but we knew it was coming. They started it.
@ElwoodBlues Exact;y/ These airheads think they are exempt from karma, and are invincible. But they are about to see what happens when you disrespect humanity.
