    He barely even remarked on it. He said nothing about Kirk himself.

    Canceled my D+ and Hulu subscriptions and wrote in other:

    “Capitulating to Trump’s version of fascist America and knee jerk reaction to Kimmel made me rethink why I should give you my money. I don’t even like or watch Kimmel, but you are allowing free speech to be violated. I don’t support free speech abolitionists.“

      I’ve seen this before. It would really be a lot nicer if these quotes all had sources. Just showing someone a list of quotes with no context doesn’t really scream “credible” to this target audience.

      Those are paraphrases of Kirk’s words. It might be more accurate to say those are his positions.

        Because they are institutions that are trying to provide comprehensive discussion since the world is grey. We don’t have to like it, but that’s probably why they allow it. Plus, yes, they make money.

      "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”

      https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/jimmy-kimmel-pulled-abc-charlie-kirk-nexstar-rcna232036

      Also, every headline I’ve seen portrays it as a comment on Kirk or on the shooting. But it’s entirely about the MAGA reaction.

        Yeah all the articles are trying to leave out the actual remarks because there isn’t anything bad about what he said. Maga just didn’t like it.

    They’re just getting started. Colbert was fired as a demand to allow the sale of CBS’ to Larry Ellison, 2nd richest man, and a vicious MAGA. With Colbert out, the decks were cleared for the sale.

    CBS used to have the reputation of being the gold standard of broadcast news. Now it’s just going to be one more mouthpiece in the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

    Washington Post fired its black opinion editor because she quoted Charlie Kirk for saying:

    “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot.”
