Fox News Howard Kurtz Declares Charlie Kirk 'Wasn't a Saint'

[edbermac]

A Fox News host drew fire from inside the network for suggesting that conservatives may be going too far in their efforts to immortalize far-right activist Charlie Kirk after he was brutally murdered earlier this week.

“Charlie Kirk was not a saint,” network mainstay Howard Kurtz said during a Sunday panel on his show, Media Buzz. “He said two years ago, it’s worth [it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the Second Amendment,” he went on, adding that “his murder makes this feel like a very dangerous time.”

3. Hey Kurtz

maybe you shouldn't be part of a network that foments hatred, bigotry and violence.

4. What was HK thinking?!

and on the station that makes saints out of Treasonous Murdering, Thieving, Rapist, Asshole Felons?

5. For a Faux Noise talking head, that's brave

(Which isn’t much). It’s also more than the so-called “liberal media” has done. (Hi, CBS! Hi, ABC! Hi, CNN! Hi, NBC!). Still, I wonder if his bosses will force him to make a groveling retraction.

8. And they will punish him more than the guy who wants to kill the homeless

Sick network.

15. You can count on that like the sun rising in the east.

Pointing out Kirk was not Teh Christ will be a much greater sin.

9. Yeah, the one on MSNBC got Fired.. Matthew Dowd..

I did read this about ABC & NBC today...

Here's a couple of mainstream outlets telling the truth

6. Lazy man out here using the normal FUX script even though it's a rich white guy this time.

"not a saint" is a strictly controlled term of art in that media space, meaning "it's fine, never mind, move along" or thereabouts.

[B.See]

7. Not a saint?? No shit, Sherlock.

[Skittles]

11. oh please, let them proceed

let the ENTIRE WORLD know just what American conservatives WORSHIP

[canetoad]

12. Brutally murdered?

Quick and probably mostly pain free.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. In Fox's eyes that's far worse than

Brian Kilmeade advocating the murder of homeless people.

[Ping Tung]

16. Trump will grant him a pardon for his sins and make his birthday a federal holiday.
