The following letter was sent to all Comcast NBCUniversal employees on Friday, September 12, 2025.
Dear Comcast NBCUniversal Team,
The tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old father, husband, and advocate for open debate, whose faith was important to him, reminds us of the fragility of life and the urgent need for unity in our nation. Our hearts are heavy, as his passing leaves a grieving family and a country grappling with division. There is no place for violence or hate in our society.
You may have seen that MSNBC recently ended its association with a contributor who made an unacceptable and insensitive comment about this horrific event. That coverage was at odds with fostering civil dialogue and being willing to listen to the points of view of those who have differing opinions. We should be able to disagree, robustly and passionately, but, ultimately, with respect. We need to do better.
Charlie Kirk believed that “when people stop talking, really bad stuff starts.” Regardless of whether you agreed with his political views, his words and actions underscore the urgency to maintain a respectful exchange of ideas – a principle we must champion. We believe in the power of communication to bring us together. Today, that belief feels more vital than ever. Something essential has fractured in our public discourse, and as a company that values the power of information, we have a responsibility to help mend it.
As employees, we ask you to embody our values in your work and communities. We should engage with respect, listen, and treat people with kindness.
The "former contributor" referenced above is Matthew Dowd. He was a former President George W. Bush adviser who had terrible things to say after the death of Charlie Kirk.
Someone in the Roberts family is scared.
Could you imagine if every time they discussed the assassination of MLK they added “you might not have agreed with what he had to say.”
Matthew Dowd- made his typical a-hole remarks on the air after an equally asinine statement by Katy Turd (or whatever her name is) who should also be fired...
The animals are out of the barn. Closing the doors now is pointless.
On air I think...............
‘Frig these promoters of hate and violence who said nothing prior except to subliminally offer words of encouragement to Americans with their hateful and disparaging rhetoric.
You reap what you sow and they need to get ready for the whirlwind!!
If they were really serious, Katy Tur would also hear the words “You’re Fired”
If they were really really serious, they would just shut the hate-filled, TDS, anti-America Democrat-propaganda-arm-network down. Like yesterday.
MSNBC has been the absolute worst rabid leftwing broadcasters, going back decades. ALL of their on-air personalities are the most vociferous Marxist ideologs. Just listen to Joy Reid, Al Sharpton, Nicole Wallace, Chris “twink” Hayes, Rachel Maddow. They are all bottom of the barrel Rat propagandist.
MSNBC MUST be disbanded!
Dowd said those horrible things out of expectation that is what the MSNBC audience wanted to hear. He was probably correct.
I'm afraid you are correct. We need to stay prepared.
You bear responsibility and faux appeals for civility aren't going to cut it this time.
JMO, YMMV
Too bad, so sad.
Try watching some of the MessNBC weekend programming
It makes the weekday stuff seem almost MAGA
Giant sucking cesspool
Somethings the MSM don’t like to talk about
A Biden-Released Illegal Alien Seen Carrying Severed Head Across Texas Motel Parking Lot
A 37-year-old illegal alien from Cuba is in the Dallas County jail after he allegedly decapitated a man at an area motel. A video shows the man carrying what appears to be a blood-dripping severed head across the motel parking lot and throwing it into a dumpster. The Cuban national with a lengthy violent criminal history was released by the Biden administration into Texas on January 13 — one week before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, according to ICE.7-year-old illegal alien from Cuba is in the Dallas County jail after he allegedly decapitated a man at an area motel.

Good. More of this, please.
On Air, with Katy Tur. I will see if I can find a clip.
Must be afraid of the repercussions they know are coming. It’s too late for them.
Maybe Rachel Madcow will quit.
