Charlie Kirk assassination

In a Sunday interview on the Joe Concha Tunnel to Towers Foundation radio show, Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell shared the MRC's "Worst Quote of the Year" for 2025: former MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd's shocking remarks during breaking coverage of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's September 10 assassination at Utah Valley University.

Media Research Center President David Bozell joined The Derek Hunter Show Wednesday night to break down the elitist media’s most outrageous quotes of the year as part of the MRC’s annual Worst Quote of the Year award, which spotlights the most egregious or biased statements in the media.

With an appearance on Friday’s CBS Mornings, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made her formal on-air debut on one of the network’s flagship newscasts and she made it count as it was to both promote Saturday’s airing of a town hall she had taped earlier this week with Erika Kirk and set the tone for what should be the network’s future of embracing a diversity of views.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

On Thursday, radio host Derek Hunter of Washington, D.C.'s powerhouse news/talk station WMAL broadcasted live from the Media Research Center studios and welcomed MRC President David Bozell to drop an exclusive bombshell poll that should terrify every conservative in America.

The question was simple: What was the political ideology of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of gunning down…

Former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric unsuccessfully tried not once, not twice, but three times to get Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman to label President Trump as anti-democratic on Thursday’s episode of her Next Question podcast. It was just another example of former broadcast anchors and reporters confirming that they were not the down-the-middle reporters they claimed…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, executive producer, and co-head writer Molly McNearney, stopped by the Thursday episode of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast to look back on Kimmel’s recent suspension. While the words “Charlie Kirk” were never mentioned once during the nearly 70-minute episode, Kimmel and McNearney claimed they told their children that President Trump was the one…

On this 21st annual Free Speech Week, the Media Research Center recognized numerous individuals across the political sphere from the Trump administration to the halls of Congress and from public advocacy to the courts, but none were more deserving than the late Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk. 

Saturday’s No Kings rallies will be populated by several people who ordinary people, not just President Trump’s supporters, would find detestable. However, NBC correspondent Adrienne Broaddus made it her job on Saturday’s Today to ensure viewers would not be aware of them. Instead, she went to great lengths to portray Speaker Mike Johnson’s “hate-America rally” description as…

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…

Once again, the New York Times is coming to the defense of the ghouls who celebrated the assassination of conservative Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk. And again left unmentioned: The left cancelling people’s reputations and getting them fired over far less offensive things during the Covid and BLM-fueled hysteria of 2020, including opinion editors at The Times.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel joined Bloomberg managing editor for media and entertainment Lucas Shaw on Wednesday for a discussion at Bloomberg Screentime. Twice during their conversation, Kimmel accused his critics of “distortion” and “intentionally and I think maliciously” mischaracterizing the comments that got him suspended. However, sandwiched in-between those remarks, Kimmel also unwittingly…

In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, there were sickening statements made by both journalists and celebrities that either blamed Kirk himself or conservative rhetoric for his death.
