MSNBC received backlash on Tuesday for being the only major news network not to air the posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month during an event at Utah Valley University.While the majority of cable news networks opted to air the White House ceremony, MSNBC was a noticeable exception.“In a pathetic, biased tantrum, MSNBC—the propaganda arm of the radical left—stands alone as the ONLY network boycotting President Trump’s heroic Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk, proving once again they’re too cowardly to cover real American patriotism,” protested Republican commentator Eric Deters.
This 'backlash' is ridiculous. The idea that MSNBC (or any cable news network for that matter) should face backlash for not airing a ceremony about Charlie Kirk, who wasn’t an elected official or part of the Trump administration, makes no sense. Sure, criticize MSNBC all you want for being a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, but this isn’t the issue to hang your hat on. In fact, for a network that's so deeply tied to its liberal audience, why would anyone with common sense expect MSNBC to showcase a conservative activist that most of their viewers can’t stand? Smh.
