Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd on journalist Katie Couric’s YouTube channel Friday complained about how his former network was covering Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension, but not his firing.
Dowd was fired on Sept. 10 after appearing to suggest on “Katy Tur Reports” the same day that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric naturally led to him being shot. Dowd said on Couric’s YouTube channel that MSNBC pundits were providing wall-to-wall alarmist coverage about Kimmel, whose suspension also followed comments about Kirk, while ignoring him. “All the shows are talking about how this is awful for America that Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended,” Dowd said. “And isn’t this awful for America and it’s a chilling thing for the First Amendment? They’re saying that on every platform. Not one person has said anything about me.”
“They’ve all gone out of their way to say, ‘Isn’t this horrible what happened to Jimmy Kimmel?’ — even including Morning Joe [Scarborough] and Mika [Brzezinski], who went after me after the show, basically saying they were glad I was terminated,” he continued. “And now today they’re talking about how awful it is for our country that somebody like Jimmy Kimmel can’t say what he said and he is indefinitely suspended. And not an iota about what their employer just did to another employee.”
When MSNBC announced it had fired Dowd, it described his comments as “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable” and apologized for them.

I had never heard of him until I read about him here on FR...
I had no idea Maureen transitioned.
That’s because you’re a C-lister, Matt.
Dude (I use that term advisedly). you got ashcanned by MS MEOW for being too much of a leftist.
Take your wormwood and go to bed, preferably your own.
Wahhh!!! Nobody’s paying attention to me!!
Me, neither. That shows we have class.
Another nobody* who thinks he’s somebody.
No doubt, like many Leftists, his pronouns are: ME MYSELF & I
*nobody - I also, like most of the known universe, have no idea who this creep is, and could care less.
They are all acting like Trump and the Federal Gov’t canned them, no it was their own networks that ended their careers.
He probably sings along with YMCA by the Village People on his car stereo so he might want to meet someone special on the way home.
Well the man has a poin, but MSNBC is scum so he shouldn’t have expected any better.

He ran for TX governor for about 5 mins in ‘21. Ha haa..as Bugs Bunny said: “What a maroon!”
What would you like to see, Matthew? Riots in the streets? Looting? Businesses and cars burned to the ground? Someone shot in the neck?
What does “But Not Him” in the title mean? Maybe some automatic title space-saving-adjustment?
I heard this clown crying on Jesse Waters’ show tonight. What a hoot. You are just not important enough Matty. I never heard of you until you got fired so you got at least one laugh out of me. LOL.
Matt Dowd was fired by MSNBC the day Charlie Kirk was shot. Dowd was speaking on MSNBC with Katy Tur and he was making comments that implied that it was Charlie's own fault he was shot.
Dowd seems to be unhappy that Jimmy Kimmel is getting a great deal of attention for begin fired, but Dowd himself hasn't received much attention. In the short video at the link, it seems to me there is real emotion in his voice when states: "Not one person has said anything about me.”
