NY Times corrects claim Charlie Kirk made antisemitic statement in story about political views

The New York Times issued a correction Thursday, admitting it had wrongly attributed an antisemitic remark to Charlie Kirk when the late Turning Point USA founder was actually critiquing the comment.

As part of its story on where Kirk stood on key political issues in the wake of his assassination, The Times reported Kirk was "repeatedly accused of antisemitism." Kirk was a staunch supporter of Israel and has been praised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an antisemitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a statement from a post on social media and went on to critique it. It was not his own statement," the New York Times wrote beneath the report.

Rhetoric so divisive, they have to keep making things up he didn't say.

[rktman]

But, as we all know, first lie out.

horrible

[Ann Archy]

These people are PURE EVIL! And they DESPISE GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD THINGS!!! SHUN THEM!

[Steely Tom]

So I guess that made it FAKE NEWS.

[Steely Tom]

So I guess that made it MISINFORMATION.

[FreeReign]

I wonder which lies Tyler Robinson heard and believed when he went to kill Charlie Kirk?

It seems many Evangelicals support Israel, as do most appointees to the Trump Admin, and of course AIPAC and dual citizenship pertains to most members of Congress.

It is a wedge through MAGA Conservative Nationalism. I cannot understand this preference for Zionism. Nor can all those most excellent deep researchers such as Bracken, Yon, Whitney Webb, etaletal.

In any direction one turns, Mossad & Israel are on the wrong side. Thet is not to praise Hamas, but even that organization is a creation of Israel, just as the October attack was permitted by Israel for the purpose of ridding Gaza of “interlopers” to gain that stretch of shore unencumbered. Etc.

NO. Don’t sugar coat it. It was a deliberate LIE. The NYT is a slimy evil serpent.

[Steely Tom]

The NY Post stories about COVID weren’t a LIE, but the Biden Administration used a claim of MISINFORMATION to get the suppressed from social media.

[Republican Wildcat]

He’s mocking them with their own words - not sugar coating it.

Odds are that lies that drove him to murder are the same lies that have brainwashed progs in general — that conservatives are fascists who need to be silenced, and that speech that opposes the woke prog narrative IS violence, and therefore merits a violent response.

Guessing that Kirk’s pro-Israel sympathies, if anything, enraged the murderer even more.

[mbrfl]

If Kirk had been genuinely antisemitic, he would have been a hero of the left.

Yup. It's a mountain of lies that helped kill Charlie Kirk.

And it has been reported that Tyler Robinson believed the "Charlie Kirk is a fascist" lie.

Bang!

[Vision]

The damage is already done and this is how the NYT’s, media, and Dem’s kill people.

[ALASKA]

How irresponsible. Stephen King did the same thing. The hateful, nonstop rhetoric of the LEFT is what set the stage for this.

[Republican Wildcat]

Now they are posting that the shooter was a “white, male, conservative Republican - again” - saying the guy who shot Trump was as well.

All these people do is lie. Radical leftists with radical leftist ideology shooting someone because they disagree with their conservative/Republican politics does not make them “conservative Republicans”. Just flat out stupid to even say - now they say it with glee, even mockingly, like *we* have been caught by them doing something.

And maybe you also think the Proctols of Zion are real. I cannot understand the animus against a nation that has the historical right to the land, and only has about 2% of the Middle East, while the rest would be confederate is seeking to exterminate Israel if they are not armed and able to make that a costly venture.

Despite Israel seeking to live in peace in the land that is theirs, which they lost due to disobedience to God, and was given back to them via the last of a succession of conquerors, yet the squatters that moved in overall would have nothing to do with peaceful coexistence (Palestinians affirmed HAMAS as a strong majority even after Oct. 7), forcing Israel to defend itself.
