another study finds conservative media bias

I figure this is as good a place as any for this article from The Guardian on the reaction to Charlie Kirk's shooting from right wing media. Basically, the right has found their martyr and have decided it's war - even though we do not know why the shooter did what he did. Here's a selection of quotes (bolding is mine):


Jesse Watters (Fox News): “This is unacceptable and has to stop, and it has to stop now. And everybody’s accountable, and we’re watching what they’re saying on television and who’s saying what: the politicians, the media, and all these rats out there. This can never happen again. It ends now. ... And we are going to avenge Charlie’s death in the way that Charlie wanted to be avenged.” [Remember the use of "vermin" during Trump's campaign?]

Greg Gutfeld (Fox News): “It’s really hard to radicalize Republicans. You know, it’s – we’re not the radical type. But if you thought that you were going to shut a movement down, you’re going to get a rude awakening. You woke us the ******** up.”

Alex Jones: “This is a war, this is a war, this is a war. This is the war. This is it, get ready. They’re terrorists, they mean business.”

Steve Bannon: “We have to have steely resolve. Charlie Kirk’s a casualty of war. We’re at war in this country. We are. ... We’re not gonna back off an inch. If you’re gonna back off, then this is not for you. Charlie Kirk gave his life for his country, he’s on the battlefield of political combat, OK. And they cut him down with an assassin’s bullet."

Laura Loomer: “This has been a very radicalizing week. A message to the left: debate time is over. You ended it.”

 

I have to give the peak nazi award to Bannon for "steely resolve."

 

And then you have guys like Gavin Newsom... Sure, he said the "normal" thing, condemning the idea of assassinating someone, but then said we should "carry on his work." Whaaaat!? Carry on his work of being a racist, fascist, sexist piece of shit? No, there are already to many people who fit that description already.

 

Gavin cares for nothing except for what's good for him in the moment. He's a POS and should be tarred and feathered.

 

I wish we had more politicians who wanted to win elections.

 

"It's really hard to radicalize Republicans" is peak Faux

 

Speaking of....y'all see the excerpts and response from Kamala's book? Yikes.

 

Peaker, Final Solution Faux

As one of the commenters says…



What the ********??? How is lightly criticizing CKs hate speech an instant pink slip, but openly suggesting we JUST MURDER THE HOMELESS completely ignored?

The answer, of course, is that Charlie Kirk was rich, therefore of value. Homeless people? Who cares?They can’t even afford a house, let alone a lawyer.

 

My ********ing god.

 

Wasn’t it just a couple weeks ago how much everyone loved him for trolling Trump?

 

If these people incite more violence against dems, then the message to them should be “You’re next”.

 

I thought there'd be a chuckle or "I know we can't really do that" but dude was real

Aktion T4 was Hitler's euthanasia test run on the disabled and mentally ill. Our America Nazis do their homework and sickos like Kilmeade just drop nuggets out there for public consumption to test us out.

Aktion T4 (German, pronounced [akˈtsi̯oːn teː fiːɐ]) was a campaign of mass murder by involuntary euthanasia which targeted people with disabilities and the mentally ill in Nazi Germany. The term was first used in post-war trials against doctors who had been involved in the killings. The name T4 is an abbreviation of Tiergartenstraße 4, a street address of the Chancellery department set up in early 1940, in the Berlin borough of Tiergarten, which recruited and paid personnel associated with Aktion T4. Certain German physicians were authorised to select patients "deemed incurably sick, after most critical medical examination" and then administer to them a "mercy death" (Gnadentod). In October 1939, Adolf Hitler signed a "euthanasia note", backdated to 1 September 1939, which authorised his physician Karl Brandt and Reichsleiter Philipp Bouhler to begin the killing.

As luck would have it, Bri has issued an apology. All should be forgiven. Who hasn't said that we should euthanize our homeless on TV?

Well let's see.

I haven't said it. Pretty sure you haven't said it.

Don't think Kamala Harris has said it. Or Ken Jennings, or Dave Grohl. Not Caleb Williams or Jim Jarmusch or Dan Rather. Alison Janney wouldn't, nor any of my neighbors. Robert Mondragon wouldn't.
You might want to go on about your day, this list is apt to take awhile... [voice slowly fading out] Lee Corso, Steven King, Jo Harvey Allan, Brysen Wright, Sachi, Kid Rock.......... had to think that one over, but I don't think even Kid R...

 

Yes. People are desperate for anything from Dems. The fact he is cynically doing it is all the worse.

But hey, Kamala is finally in the spotlight to sell her book and talk about how Joe's team is at fault for everything. We're saved.

Nothing wrong here.

Inhave no idea what this is supposed to say.

But compared with Brian Kilmeade saying we should just kill the homeless by lethal injection is totally the same thing, even less horrible.

 

I know. "Yee haa! Chuckie said that we need to take gang violence into account for mass shootings. Imma gonna fire off my Yosemite Sam 6 shooter in celebration!"

 

Well if it's voluntary...

Kim B.
“Is voluntary lethal injection the appropriate compromise?”
~Kilmeade’s PR team, probably.

 

As the late Rush Limbaugh would say, "Has a poor person ever created a job?"

 

Who dat?
