The media needs to pay for their aiding of the fascist regime and/or being to cowardly to fight back. All they do is help Republicans even if all they're doing is the "they go low we go high" crap.

Dowd said of Kirk: Hes been one of the most divisive, especially divisive, younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.

And I think thats the environment were in. You cant stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And thats the unfortunate environment we are in.

Wow, that was a mild comment. Truthful and professional too. Way to overreact MSNBC.

He isn't wrong, nor was he insulting anyone just stating facts. "If you are a hateful person, expect it to be returned to you." More or less.

All of mainstream media is owned by rich conservatives, yes.

But MSNBC has Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki

I was not expecting something like this from them

Pathetic

'Chickens coming home to roost' was what Bill Maher said post-9/11 and that line has never been more apt than today.

There is no Fox News equivalent of the left. There's no mainstream media of the left in the first place.

I'm sure a few MSNBC hosts will have some words about this, but yeah, they'll still kneel to Trump as a network.

All we have for left media is like, independent youtubers and shit.

Seems like a pretty obvious and widely shared sentiment by everyone who's not in the MAGA cult. If that was truly the extent of it, MSNBC is more pathetic than I already thought.

We still got the late night comedians like Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers and Jon Stewart. But Trump got Colbert cancelled and you can bet he's working on the rest of them too

They can get probably start getting harsher than calling him someone I disagreed with.

You can say you dislike him as a person while still calling this an absolute tragedy.

Same thing in Canada. Where our one independent government news network is tightly controlled to be neutral but big money has come after it. One company owns 11 network of our media. Out of 16. So they spin the conservative takes all across to divide us.

Isn't he the guy that said initially it could have been an overexcited fan firing his gun or something?

Don't get me wrong, he shouldn't have been fired but that comment is interesting now that we have most of the facts.
