Charlie Kirk

The Media Research Center announced Wednesday that it is awarding its annual Free Speech Award exclusively to Charlie Kirk, the late founder of Turning Point USA and a fearless defender of the First Amendment. This approach differs from that taken in 2024, when 35 people were recognized for their strong efforts to defend free speech rights. 

October 20: Queen of kooks: Kathy Griffin confirms her TDS and doubts Trump’s election.

While Wednesday night’s CNN town hall with Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was 92 minutes of what our Jorge Bonilla dubbed “an extended infomercial for socialism in America,” NewsNation held a town hall a few miles away at the Kennedy Center that not only ran longer, but featured a robust debate with a parade of guests spanning both age and the…

Wikipedia added yet more critical language to assassinated Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk’s page days before his posthumous reception of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Media Research Center had found.

If you have been reading, watching or listening to the coverage of the war in Gaza, post October 7, 2023, it should come as no surprise that public opinion has been turning against Israel, even in this country. Poll after poll has shown this to be the case, and the latest findings by The New York Times and Siena University, show that more Americans back the Palestinians for the first…

The nation is rightly traumatized by the horrible assassination of Charlie Kirk. The media is filled, also rightly, with give and take trying to understand what can and should be done so that we don’t see more of the same. But unfortunately, much of the expression that I hear is informed by the same misguided sense of right and wrong that brought to fruition the horrible act.

In a Thursday interview with Lara Trump on her show The Right View for the Right Side Broadcasting Network, NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck highlighted the Media Research Center’s commitment to providing rigorous, evidence-based analysis of media coverage. He also talked about how the corporate media can regain the trust of the American people.

On Sunday’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, CNN host Jake Tapper spent an hour mourning the six-day suspension of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel — a personal friend Tapper didn’t disclose — as dangerous for free speech. Most disgusting was Tapper relegating the September 10 murder of Charlie Kirk to a supporting role, thus painting a narrative (via use of his time) that Kimmel…

In a recent opinion column, former Univision anchor Jorge Ramos attempted to make sense of Charlie Kirk’s senseless murder. In the process of failing to do so, Ramos fell back on familiar tropes.

The political panel on CNN’s The Arena was purely hinged Thursday afternoon, not only declaring “there’s no evidence” and “no basis” to state the Dallas, Texas Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) facility shooter was on the far left, but also blaming President Trump and the GOP for the rise in political violence....which would include the September 10 assassination of Charlie…

While they certainly had other things to do (such as comparing President Trump to Richard Nixon for wanting to prosecute James Comey), ABC’s Good Morning America waved goodbye Thursday to the liberal media’s gross canonizing of far-left late-night Jimmy Kimmel for his six-day timeout for his conspiratorial and vile comments about the Charlie Kirk assassination. CBS Mornings and NBC’s…

Monday on his eponymous YouTube show, former CNN host Don Lemon went into the ugly, vile depths of political rhetoric with a torrent of hatred toward the Charlie Kirk memorial service, quoting from his own book published last year to call it“white nationalism wrapped in religious nationalism” imbued with false, “performative” Christianity, and a tribute to Americans of the past who glorified…

On Tuesday, MSNBC aired a pre-recorded interview between Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker with the latter having felt the need to downplay the prevalence of violence in Chicago and described President Trump’s use of National Guard as authoritarian.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the nation’s airwaves is proof of just how unseriously left-wing violence is taken by the liberal media. If Johnny Carson had gone on air after the murder of John F. Kennedy and said, “We hit some new lows this weekend with the Democrat gang trying to characterize this kid who killed President Kennedy as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to…
