Despicable Charlie Kirk Coverage Proves It's Time To Shut MSNBC Down
QR Code Link to This Post
Even NBC, a liberal outlet in its own right, wants nothing to do with the channel. Stooges like Brian Stelter insist MSNBC is simply a left-leaning alternative to CNN or Fox News. Maybe that was true ten years ago. Not anymore. Today, MSNBC is hateful and openly tolerates — even encourages — rhetoric that normalizes political violence.
CNN still has value as a 24/7 global news operation. Fox News gives a voice to millions of voters ignored by the corporate press and shines light on stories no one else will — like the racially motivated murder of a Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina.
MSNBC, by contrast, is a mere megaphone for voices too fringe and radical for other left-leaning networks.
After the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump last year, multiple MSNBC commentators suggested he staged it himself. The network even pulled "Morning Joe" the following Monday, afraid its own hosts and guests couldn’t cover the story professionally.
"I have many questions! Like where are the medical reports? What caused Trump’s injury and what was the injury? Shrapnel? Glass? A bullet? Where were the three attendees who were shot seated or standing relative to Trump?" Reid asked.
"Why was Trump allowed to stand and pose for photos, fist pumping for nearly ten seconds while asking about his shoe when there could easily have been additional shooters? How did the gunman manage to get on the roof of the building where the local police were literally inside?"
Even without a balding Joy Reid, the channel’s talking points haven’t changed: Trump is Hitler. White Americans are a threat to black Americans. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk are "white supremacists" or "fascists."
This rhetoric breeds hate. Hate breeds violence. MSNBC isn’t offering commentary from the left. It’s trafficking in hysteria and destruction. The channel too often feels demonic in nature.
