Why the hell is MSNBC carrying Kirk's funeral live ? [View all]

Complete with a full roster of right wingers eulogizing Kirk like he was the second coming of christ, spewing right wing propaganda and not so subtle threats to our side.

For example, his wife saying that "thy will be done" now resonates with her , a not so subtle threat against her husband detractors and encouragement for crazed magats to do "God's will" which, in their cult translates to go after democrats.

To top it off, Trump is there and giving a totally disjointed and insane speech.

What msnbc should have done is not carry it live but instead monitor it for possible newsworthy things.

It annoys me to no end that the republicans have Fox News to parrot their propaganda, yet we can not even count on the equivalent to rebutt them.

You would think after decades, rich democratic donors ( like Pritzker, Soros, etc..) would have put together a channel to be the counterpoint. On the contrary, every time there is an event like that, MSNBC just fall in line and carry the water for the fascists.
