Alex Marlow Exposes Media Oligarchy's Blood on Their Hands After Charlie Kirk's Assassination
Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, delivers a powerful address examining how establishment media corporations weaponize their platforms against conservatives and their role in Charlie Kirk's tragic death. Marlow draws parallels between the media's treatment of Andrew Breitbart's death and their disgraceful response to Kirk's assassination, revealing how outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and tech giants like Google and Meta created the radicalized environment that led to violence. He documents the media's pattern of dehumanizing conservatives, from Jimmy Kimmel's inflammatory comments to mainstream journalists celebrating tragedy, while highlighting Charlie's unique role as a journalist who dominated platforms like Instagram and TikTok where conservatives rarely venture.
When Alex Marlow set out to write his first book, "Breaking the News," he focused on a critical truth: the media isn't just biased against Donald Trump and his supporters—they're actively trying to destroy them. These aren't journalists seeking compromise; they want to convert conservatives or cancel them entirely. The word "weaponization" is deliberate and specific, describing how corporations target conservative voices while controlling not just media, but lives, with only their own interests at heart.
Marlow acknowledges that Bernie Sanders is right about one thing: an oligarchy increasingly runs the country. But Sanders has the wrong culprits. The real oligarchy consists of the conglomerates controlling ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN—the entities that have been silencing Christian conservative voices for years. There's no one giving conservatives a late-night show or news program in the establishment media space, which is partially controlled by the government through the FCC.
Silicon Valley's Stranglehold on Conservative Speech
The situation with Silicon Valley tech titans is even worse than traditional establishment media. While Marlow appreciates Mark Zuckerberg's recent transformation—the medallion, the new haircut—he hasn't forgotten that Zuckerberg tried to buy the election for Joe Biden by donating $400 million to dropbox operations. Google represents the harshest control, particularly through YouTube's treatment of conservative voices. Countless conservative podcasters can't monetize on Google's platforms.
Try searching for a Breitbart story on Google without using the word "Breitbart" in your search—you won't find their exclusive, factually accurate stories. This is how an oligarchy functions, protecting the establishment at all costs. The coming AI revolution offers some opportunity to push back faster against their lies, but it's garbage in, garbage out. If garbage data feeds the AI algorithms, garbage content emerges.
Charlie Kirk: The Journalist Who Conquered New Platforms
At Breitbart, Marlow and his team built a powerhouse of new media voices. But what Charlie Kirk accomplished was incredibly special. Charlie wasn't just an activist—he was a journalist, though Marlow wouldn't say it to his face for fear Charlie would consider it an insult. Kirk interviewed the most important people in the world, becoming direct competition for major podcast bookings.
Charlie spread his message on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, places where conservatives don't typically venture. He took over those platforms because he wanted to get the word out, to be the megaphone for conservative values in spaces dominated by the left.
Blood on Their Hands: The Media's Role in Charlie's Death
Charlie Kirk's murder forced Marlow to reassess the current media moment. The establishment media has blood on their hands—all of them. Erika Kirk delivered one of the most brilliant speeches Marlow ever heard, with his favorite line being: "The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done."
The maniac who pulled the trigger would not have done so if he hadn't been radicalized. He wouldn't have acted if he didn't know he would be celebrated in certain corners of the internet, that his satanic vision of playing God would be excused by the oligarchs and corporations controlling so much of media and speech in America.
As expected, the media disgraced themselves. Marlow knew this would happen because they did the same thing when Andrew Breitbart died. Matt Yglesias, a mainstream writer, wrote that "the world outlook is slightly improved with Andrew Breitbart dead." Matt Taibbi, now seemingly on the right but then writing for Rolling Stone, titled his column "Death of a Douche" about a man with four small children and a grieving spouse, a friend beloved even by liberals who knew him.
The Pattern of Violence and Media Complicity
When Van Jones on CNN suggested after the brutal murder on that train car in North Carolina that it was "just hurt people hurting people," portraying the man who gouged a woman's jugular as the victim, was anyone surprised? This is demonic behavior—there's no other explanation. The media has been dehumanizing conservatives for decades. When they call people fascists and Nazis, someone eventually gets shot. That's exactly what happened.
The list of violence from left to right, from secular against religious in America, is extensive:
In 2025, Turning Point USA students were assaulted at UC Davis
In 2024, protesters smashed windows at the basketball gym at UC Davis simply because Charlie was speaking there
Two assassination attempts on Donald Trump
The assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh (with news emerging that the would-be assassin is now transitioning and insisting on female pronouns)
The Summer of Rage vandalism against pro-life organizations in 2022
The Rand Paul attack
The Steve Scalise assassination attempt
The Family Research Council terror incident
Through all of this, the media did nothing. They acted like it was normal when it has never been normal.
The Media's Disgraceful Response to Charlie's Murder
Matthew Dowd from MSNBC suggested that Charlie Kirk had it coming or that maybe one of his supporters shot him. The New York Times quickly reminded readers that Charlie was a "provocateur"—did he provoke his own assassination? The Times also got caught claiming Charlie made an anti-semitic statement when he was actually quoting someone else to critique it.
ABC News's Matt Gutman called the text messages between the assassin suspect and his trans furry boyfriend "touching and heartbreaking." CBS claimed the motives were "elusive" days after learning the suspect had shot rounds with Antifa symbolism etched into the bullets or casings. BlueSky, a left-wing Twitter alternative, had to issue a warning to chill out users on their platform—something that only happens when there's significant violence being fomented.
Jimmy Kimmel and the FCC's Toothless Response
Then there was Jimmy Kimmel. Days after learning the assassin was a "Antifa freak," Kimmel declared on ABC—which benefits from government spectrum—that "the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," claiming the killer was MAGA.
The FCC, which fines broadcasters for saying certain words (following the Carlin precedent), couldn't even rebuke Kimmel for inciting violence without the media acting as though it was Kimmel who was assassinated and not Charlie Kirk. ABC eventually dropped him, but not just because of what he said—his ratings had declined every year for the last 11 straight years without exception. He was down to 129,000 viewers in the key demographic. A video of a cat playing with a ball of yarn would likely get more viewers.
These are the same people who celebrated the blacklisting of Tim Allen, Roseanne, and Tucker Carlson. All the while, they fomented a clear violent assassination culture in the dark corners of the internet, never reporting on it, never investigating any of it. They needed to take Charlie Kirk's death seriously—it was an opportunity—and they didn't take it.
The Good News: Their Power Is Gone
Despite the darkness, there is good news, and it's twofold. First, the demons among us are revealing themselves. We're seeing exactly who they are. The internet is forever, and conservatives are writing it down, screen-capping it, documenting it, and putting it in databases so no one will ever forget who disgraced Charlie Kirk.
But the best news, more clear than ever, is that we don't care about these people anymore. We don't care about the establishment media. Their power is completely gone. And that is official.
