The Media Is Totally Blowing Its Coverage of Charlie Kirk
The killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has resulted in a very intense debate about his politics and approach. In the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, TNR contributors Ana Marie Cox and Meredith Shiner say that the press is largely whitewashing Kirk’s actual politics, citing a column by The New York Times’ Ezra Klein as a prime example. Cox discusses her TNR piece after Kirk’s death, which argues that the American left shows empathy to conservatives that is never returned. They also talked about Shiner’s call for more primary challenges to Democratic incumbents, the Democratic establishment’s continued resistance to Zohran Mamdani, and Cox’s piece on Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.
