The immediate response of many “mainstream” liberal journalists to the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk demonstrates why so many Americans loathe the corporate media.
Many of the responses to Kirk’s killing on social websites like TikTok and Bluesky have been celebratory and downright evil.
It’s ironic in a certain way that Bluesky had become such a concentrated den of hate and outrage given that the platform was allegedly created because X had backed away from content moderation.
The truth is what they really wanted was just a safe space for libs. They wanted a world carefully cultivated like a college campus where opinions range from the Left to Left-er and anyone who challenges their views with logic, like Charlie Kirk, is silenced when basic liberal assumptions are questioned.
But as vicious as the hordes of hateful, random leftists have been on social media, it’s the mainstream outlets that behaved most shamefully when news of Kirk’s shooting broke.
