Megyn Kelly exposes the mainstream media lies about Charlie Kirk “F*** you for not doing your homework and just trying to paint him as some crazy racist — These people need to be defeated, not reasoned with” - New York Times was saying about Charlie was, oh, he was very controversial. He said things like Martin Luther King was a bad guy. Yes, he did say that. You know why? Because MLK's own biographer, a Pulitzer Prize winning biographer, broke the story that MLK was in back rooms allowing women on his staff to get sexually molested by others right...

A predictable reaction to the horrible murder of Charlie Kirk among legacy media outlets has been to condemn the ugly tenor of America’s political debate and call for a timeout. On its face, the plea sounds reasonable enough, but it rests on the false idea of both-sidesism, as if left and right are equally to blame for the frightening rise of political violence. Count that as another Big Media lie and a repugnant effort to obscure the actual source and motivation of the assassination scourge. There are not two sides contributing to the horror and equally responsible for it. The...

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...

Kirk, like all victims of gun violence, was someone’s family member — a husband, a father, a son. He was a professed Christian and a provocateur who took his message to places that were often hostile; he welcomed a back-and-forth with those who disagreed with his views. He was a media savant who leveraged his views into the algorithms of young people, particularly men, who have been historically reluctant to engage in politics. Many people who couldn’t have picked Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens out of a police lineup knew Charlie Kirk. Turning Point USA, the political organization he co-founded...

Rather than condemning violence and calling for unity, the president of the United States accused his political opposition of being accessories to murder. It is possible that, in the history of America’s radicalization spiral, the horrifying, cold-blooded assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be recorded as only the second-most-dangerous event of September 10, 2025. If so, the more significant development will instead have been the speech that evening by President Donald Trump. If you did not listen to Trump’s remarks, which have received only light attention from the media, you might have missed the chilling message they contained. Trump...

Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah yesterday at just 31 years old. The conservative firebrand was gunned down during the kickoff of his “American Comeback Tour” at Utah Valley University, struck in the neck by a sniper’s bullet while engaging young Americans in his signature Q&A sessions. As we’ve reported previously, the liberal media’s reaction to the shooting was deplorable, with commentators taking to the airwaves with disgusting observations, such as comments from MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd, who effectively blamed Kirk for being shot. It was, of course, predictable that the mainstream media would trash him. Sadly, the print media...

MSNBC has parted ways with political analyst Matthew Dowd following his comments while covering the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Initially, the network had offered a lengthy apology for his words after the killing but later Wednesday, Variety reported Dowd had been let go. The Daily Mail has reached out to MSNBC for comment. 'During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable. We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political...

MSNBC has sparked outrage for its 'disgusting' and 'shameful' on-air comments while covering the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Kirk, who amassed a huge following for his fiery debates on university campuses, was assassinated in broad daylight mid-speech on Wednesday afternoon. Reporting on the situation in real time, host Katy Tur called Kirk 'divisive' and 'polarizing' while political analyst Matthew Dowd suggested that the gunshot could have been fired by one of Kirk's supporters. '[W]e don't know any of the full details of this yet,' Dowd said. 'We don't know if this...

BREAKING: MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd for his comments after the shooting of Charlie Kirk

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump, once a casino owner and always a man in search of his next deal, is fond of a poker analogy when sizing up partners and adversaries. … Seven months into his second term, he has accumulated presidential power that he has used against universities, media companies, law firms, and individuals he dislikes. A man who ran for president as an angry victim of a weaponized “deep state” is, in some ways, supercharging government power and training it on his opponents. And the supporters who responded to his complaints about overzealous Democrats aren’t recoiling. They’re...

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Center for Health Equity Dr. Chris T. Pernell shouted down conservative podcaster Ben Ferguson on Wednesday during a panel discussion about COVID-19. The House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released its report in December 2024 detailing how the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) allowed the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to interfere with school reopening guidance and parrot false statements about masking and vaccines. As Ferguson pointed out the CDC’s errors after “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip claimed Florida’s end to vaccine mandates would “pull the rug” from...

To the surprise of nobody with a brain, President Donald Trump is alive and well. Over the weekend a bizarre conspiracy theory began circulating claiming Trump had died and that his death was being covered up. It mattered naught that he was spotted golfing and posting on social media.Under normal circumstances, such an outlandish hoax probably would not warrant coverage. But the propaganda press jumped to cover the hoax, not because they believed Trump was dead, but because the story provided them an opportunity to recycle hysterical speculation about Trump’s health.The irony of course is glaring. For four years, the...

The victims of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson Wednesday that they had no knowledge of President Donald Trump doing anything inappropriate in relation to the deceased pedophile’s operation. Speculations surrounding Trump’s relationship with Epstein have drawn attention on Capitol Hill and the press following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) conclusion that Epstein had not possessed a client list and its decision to not publicly release all of the documents relating to the sex offender’s criminal case. The victims told Jackson on “NBC News Now” that they had not heard or seen Trump do...

When President Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, the topic was the weighty issue of ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But at one point, Trump took a provocative diversion into domestic politics. Zelensky noted that, in his country, the law doesn’t allow for elections during periods of martial law.

Karoline Leavitt and President Trump have issued a statement about CBS’ Margaret Brennan, per Daily CallerLEAVITT: “She’s stupid. You can put that on the record.”TRUMP: “She’s nasty.”LEAVITT: “Yes.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is ripping into CBS News for omitting her full answers during an interview on Face the Nation. The network cut almost 25 percent of her answers for their Sunday show, where Ms. Noem spoke about the ongoing efforts and operations to deport illegal aliens. She also expounded more about the ongoing case against Abrego Garcia, but CBS News took the hatchet to that as well (via DHS): During the broadcast, CBS edits deprived the American people from hearing the truth about MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The following 25 seconds were cut from...

JOB OPENING Wanted: MAGA-leaning broadcast executive looking to serve as a news “ombudsman,” and make CBS News less of a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party. Stating Salary: $250,000 a year. Hours: One day a month. Not a bad gig — and it’s exactly what executives at CBS are searching for at the broadcaster, The Post has learned. The position is part of a settlement agreement with President Trump’s media regulator, the Federal Communications Commission, which investigated whether the network’s Democrat-friendly political tilt violated FCC “public interest” guidelines. The investigation centered on a controversial “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris during...

"... we’re willing to worship the lives of our children to appease the prophets of the gun industry" One MSNBC guest claimed on Saturday that calls for prayer after the tragic school shooting that unfolded just days earlier were “a form of idolatry” and “theological malpractice,” arguing that unless people were also willing to go after gun manufacturers, their prayers meant nothing. Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, a Democrat, joined MSNBC host Ali Velshi to discuss the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN — and he blamed Republican lawmakers and guns for the tragic shooting. WATCH: After a...

VIDEOImagine a White House press conference in the near future. The reporters are fervently raising their hands desperately hoping to be called upon to ask a question. At the podium, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt or perhaps even President Trump points at Olivia Rinaldi of CBS News and says "TAYLOR SWIFT." What does poor Olivia do? Does she correct either Leavitt or President Trump or is she just grateful she got called upon and asks her question? Either way, it is an hilarious way of emphasizing how unserious our news media has become.There is a YUUUUUGE upside to this....

I’m putting that irrefutable statement of fact in a headline, because I haven’t seen it anywhere else.Yesterday in Minnesota, a man who claimed to be a woman shot up a Catholic church full of children. He wasn’t a “trans woman,” let alone a woman. He was a man. A very crazy man.A lot of mainstream “news” outlets don’t want you to say that. And if you insist on pointing out the truth, they’re eager to brand you a bigot. “We may never know why the tranny spree killer, who left behind a manifesto, shot all those people. It was probably...
