32. The amount of coverage may be justified by his fame,

More and more honest coverage of Melissa Hortman's assassination was also justified, but not provided. The coverage of that hers and the related deaths was tepid and nothing like as damning of the RW/MAGA agenda & their calls for violence against their political "enemies" as it should have been.

No widespread, passionate listing of all the other recent victims of RW/MAGA attacks. No harping on the J6 criminals & their violent crimes, nor of the pResident pardoning them.

Dems & Democratic supporters need to get that message out *now* to counter the narrative being sold hard by the MAGAts & media that all Democrats are to blame & must pay for Kirk's killing. With Mad King Donald's rule, we may suffer official government sanctioned or government-carried-out punishment.
