On Getting Fed-UP With the MSM Glorification of Kirk [View all]

TBH, I've never been much of a fan of assassination. And not just because of a natural abhorrence to such a notion. But also because the act is more likely to succeed in elevating a person to a status he/she may have never merited in real life. Which is what I think we are witnessing in the apparent MSM canonization of one Charlie Kirk.

For several days now, I've had to endure such discourse, not only from the MSM and certain political leaders, but from local TV newscasts, helmed by "reporters" whose local broadcasts I've watched for years (though may never see them again in quite the same way) - all singing the praises of Kirk as a champion of "free speech," and proponent of political discourse.

Only, seems to me that someone who believes in free speech wouldn't have made such efforts to silence and/or ostracize "woke" professors at universities, nor would've railed against the political discourse of "critical race theory" and the teaching of slavery in America's history. Wouldn't have denounced the free expression and will of those who choose to follow their own sexual identities, either, I think.

No. When Kirk and other MAGAS like him (including Trump) speak of "free speech" what they really mean is the freedom to make up whatever LIE they choose, out of thin air and often with ZERO basis in fact.

And the FACT was, Kirk was a master at conjuring up divisive, hate based, mean-spirited distortions and outright lies, to further a vile and vicious agenda.

But, hey, don't take my word for it. Read what Wikipedia says about him. Only you better hurry and copy it someplace, because it soon might all be gone.

And while I'm at it, here's another caution for the maga lurkers: You may find Wikipedia to be "woke." So happens, FACTS typically are.
