Media Criticism Battles Surrounding Charlie Kirk's Death and Its Coverage

Showing 12 Media Criticism videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

This topic covers disputes over how major media outlets covered Charlie Kirk's death and the public fights that followed among commentators. Conservative commentator Jack Houghton criticized MSNBC for suggesting Kirk's shooting might have resulted from a supporter's celebratory gunfire, calling it willfully false given the shot's 200-yard distance, and pointed to the BBC placing "great guy" in scare quotes and a New York Times obituary that recounted Kirk's controversies before confirming his death. Megyn Kelly defended Candace Owens's right to raise questions about Kirk's death, including whether Israel might have some connection to it, telling Tucker Carlson she disagreed with efforts to police which questions Owens was allowed to ask even as Turning Point USA pushed back. Briahna Joy-Gray defended Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah after her firing over social media posts about racial double standards in how Kirk's death was mourned, arguing the termination had little to do with journalistic ethics. Separately, Candace Owens directly challenged the credibility of young investigative journalist Nick Shirley's reporting on gang activity and welfare fraud, prompting a public response from Shirley defending his work.
