General Discussion

trolled by right wingers in my op. I was speaking of the evening news, national and local.

And while I understand the notion of these outlets not speaking ill of the dead, I think, given the toxicity of what Kirk preached, not acknowledging at least a "controversy" (for want of a more accurate word) surrounding many of his positions, while simultaneously (and ironically, I might add) lauding him as some champion of 'free speech'

is a deliberate misrepresentation (if not normalization) of what he preached and what he stood for.

So I guess the solution (if I understand your position correctly) to avoid being OFFENDED (a more accurate descriptive than "angry" ) would be to either not watch the news, or don't give a... care.

At any rate, thanks for your input.
