The Atlantic staff writer David Frum joined PBS’s Amanpour and Company guest host Bianna Golodryga on Monday to react to the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and used the opportunity to relight the Doomsday beacons that signify democracy itself is under threat from a president who would seek to mess with the 2026 midterm elections.

It's not uncommon to see unhinged leftists writing off Charlie Kirk as a "Nazi" or "Hitler Youth," which could be an excuse for his brutal assassination. And where does this notion of Kirk and Donald Trump in particular as well as MAGA and conservatives in general as Nazis come from? Unfortunately much of it comes from media sources. One of the culprits is Vanity Fair magazine.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel had a perverted sense of outrage on Monday as he claimed that “the MAGA gang” is “desperately trying” to characterize Charlie Kirk’s killer as not one of them. He also alleged that President Trump is mourning Kirk’s death like a 4-year old who has lost a pet goldfish.

The legacy media are fighting the motive narrative battle with the intensity of the last Japanese soldier in the Philippine jungles after the end of World War II. CBS, in particular, is insisting on a lack of motive in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The Sunday "news" shows demanded that Republicans condemn angry speech by conservatives after the murder of Charlie Kirk, not leftist rhetoric. It's perverse after a conservative was gunned down on campus.

The NBC Nightly News complains about the rash of firings of individuals celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. A report full of misrepresentations and obfuscations attempts to turn these formerly-employed individuals into the newest, purest victims of the shooting.

The left could no longer deny that their side was responsible for (at least some) of the political violence terrorizing this country. But they weren’t willing to admit the of violence that could be attributed to liberal ideology. Monday’s edition of Inside Politics with Dana Bash on CNN saw her and guests dissatisfied with the Trump Administration’s response to the murder of Charlie…

For the Democrat hard left, the good news is that Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “Democratic socialist” with a long history of what many consider antisemitism and anti-Israel activism, won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York. The bad news for the Democratic left is that he will likely win.

Writing Monday morning at her Substack, far-left race hustler Karen Attiah revealed she had been fired from The Washington Post as Global Opinions Editor for a series of ghoulish posts on the far-left hellscape BlueSky in which she downplayed Wednesday’s assassination of Charlie Kirk as part of America’s violent past and falsely claimed he denigrated black women as criminals.

This space is usually reserved for announcing the results of our Worst Media Take of the Week poll. We didn’t run a vote last week out of respect for Charlie Kirk and his family. 

Since Friday’s edition of The View was pre-recorded, Monday’s episode was the first time the liberal ladies could expand on their initial reactions to the politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk. Despite the shooter’s naked liberal politics and his transgender lover, The View was demanding that people stop trying to blame the left for this latest act of political…

CNN is guilty of gross double standards in covering internet researchers on a mission to expose their political enemies. On Saturday, CNN updated a previous post, “People are getting fired for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. It looks like a coordinated effort,” by CNN Business “breaking news writer” Ramishah Maruf. The headline conveyed the hostility of Maruf’s…

MRC President David Bozell visited WMAL’s O’Connor & Company on Monday morning to discuss what the Sunday talk shows (and others) had to say about the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week. O’Connor pointed out a major blind spot in the networks: a lack of someone who aligned with Charlie Kirk from an ideological perspective:

Showing how at least some liberal elites are already in retreat when it comes to reconsidering their own role in the country’s toxic political climate following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, CBS News Sunday Morning led off with correspondent Robert Costa turning to none other than liberal historian and President Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham to warn America’s “in a dangerous place…
