Charlie Kirk’s massive memorial was so much more than that — it was a message to the mainstream media
NY Post ^ | 21 Sep, 2025 | Post Editorial Board

The massive gathering for Charlie Kirk on Sunday was more than just a funeral — it was a message.

A 200,000-person crowd inundated the stadium inside and out, and millions around the world watched live. They prayed for, celebrated and mourned a man who brought them all together. Multitudes in red, white and blue. Yet these faithful, and Kirk himself, have been mostly disregarded by the mainstream media — or worse, slandered by them — for their Christian faith and conservative values.

They scream, “We are here!” They elect Donald Trump — twice. They rise together in shock after Kirk’s assassination.

Yet Democrats and the media pretend this silent majority is a minority, a fringe group.

But that is starting to change. The near-monopoly liberals have on college campuses was busted open by Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Since Democrats rule nearly all TV networks, talk shows and late night, conservatives turned to podcasts. And when Jimmy Kimmel crossed the line, it was affiliates in Middle America who pulled him, demanding an apology.

Was Kimmel watching Sunday? Was ABC? Do they understand the bubble they’ve created? Not only do they not speak to or for these people, they deny they exist. It is unsustainable.

I don’t think the MSM understands the country. They think the deranged far left is normal.

Your comment implies ignorance. Its not ignorance. Its hate and arrogance.

The Narrative media is incapable of receiving any message that doesn’t match the preferred narrative.

They have a fraction of the audience that they used to reach and are hemorrhaging that fast and THEY DON’T CARE.

More to the point, it was a message to the Democrats.

A loud message that Disney ignored and reinstated Kimmel.

Further commenting, ignorance could be cured through education. What the left has cant be cured by education. The hate they have can only be cured the same way a sinner comes to Christ. They have to be broken, and then ask for forgiveness. Only then can you build on a solid foundation of good.

Who cares about Kimmel? Guy is a pimple on the ass of progress. He has what <1 share in his slot. Guy is irrelevant. Reading today, the left is mad that he got reinstated, and like 50 stations won’t air his show. Talk about pyrrhic victory.

It seems cult-like. Sort of like worshipping the "father of lies".

I'm hoping - like I'm sure Charlie would - that Kimmel repents and comes to know Jesus.

The mean part of me is tempted to want Kimmel to continue his spiral. I got to get rid of the mean part of me; it is not good.

“Who cares about Kimmel?”

I care about garbage being broadcast into american homes. Disney hates you and just gave you, and Charlie, a giant middle finger.

True but he is correct they have a worldview that regards their politics as the norm and the only truth. The otherness and opposition of the right breeds that hate and arrogance.

Once again, we see the false theology of many Evangelicals, the insistence that you need saving from your sin, that God sees you as rotten and disgusting, and that only by groveling on your knees and worshiping their distorted version of the Bible can you avoid being cast out as one of the ‘others.’ But why would you want to believe that about your God? Read A More Christlike God and then come back for a real discussion. Otherwise, spare us the recycled Sunday school sermons—tedious at best.

OMG, talk about preaching.... Look in the mirror. Your comment to me and how you present it is what drives people away from church.

I wasnt trying to give a sermon. I was commenting on FR. Give it a rest.

It was a message, but I doubt the MSM received it. They are a stiff necked people.

Half our leaders were all in one place at the memorial. That flies in the face of security procedures but they made a stand against the violence. Unfortunately, the left will carry on. High time to stop turning the other cheek.

I doubt they will listen if Kimmel, Colbert and Steponallofus are examples. I think they will double down.
