Reporters Comments Following Press Conference Raise Eyebrows

What I’m about to walk you through is not satire. It’s not a meme. It’s not a Babylon Bee headline. It is, somehow, reality. And if you’re not already bracing for the cultural freefall we’re in, buckle up—because the floor just dropped another 20 feet.

Charlie Kirk is dead. Murdered. Gunned down in front of a crowd, in broad daylight, while doing what he always did: speaking his mind, standing up for conservative values, and engaging with the public. That alone should’ve been the headline. That should be the national focus.

But no. Because we now live in a country where mainstream reporters aren’t horrified by the killing of a political commentator—they’re busy swooning over the murderer’s text messages.

And so we have a new narrative:

After prosecutors announced formal charges against Tyler Robinson—the 22-year-old killer who, according to his own texts, shot Charlie Kirk because he thought Kirk was “spreading hatred” that “could not be negotiated with”—you might expect the media to focus on the chilling premeditation. The ideological motive. The way his messages showed a mind completely detached from reality and morally warped beyond comprehension.

But nope.

ABC News took a different approach. One that somehow managed to paint the shooter as the real victim of this story.

ABC’s Matt Gutman, standing on national television with all the gravity and seriousness of a true crime journalist, described the killer’s text messages as… “touching.” His exact words. Touching.

Not terrifying. Not psychotic. Not blood-chilling. Touching.

Gutman described the shooter’s relationship with his trans-identifying “roommate” as an “intimate portrait,” highlighting how Robinson repeatedly texted phrases like “my love” and “I want to protect you.” You’d think he was reading lines from The Notebook, not the confession of a cold-blooded murderer who shot a man through the neck in front of children.

Let’s make this clear: Robinson murdered a father of two. He left a family destroyed, a movement shaken, and a nation stunned. And Matt Gutman’s first instinct is to turn the killer into a star-crossed lover?

Who needs The Onion when ABC News is out here unironically crafting a rom-com subplot around an assassination?

But it doesn’t stop there. Gutman doubled down. On a later segment, he again described the texts as “heartbreaking” and “touching,” noting the “duality” of a man who murdered someone in public and then told his trans-identifying boyfriend, “I did it to protect you.”

Yes, really. That was his defense. And the press is eating it up like it’s Shakespeare.

This is where we are. The shooter literally said he killed Kirk because of his political beliefs—and instead of addressing the radicalization, the media is romanticizing it. Treating it like a tragic love story, not an act of domestic terrorism.

Folks, it gets even more disturbing:

The left is sick and we need change.

You know what’s really “touching”? A man who leaves behind a wife and children because he dared to stand up for what he believed. A man who spent years peacefully promoting conservative values in an increasingly hostile culture. A man who never called for violence, yet was gunned down by someone who couldn’t stand to hear the other side speak.

But none of that seems to matter to the press anymore.

Because the new narrative—the approved narrative—is that if you’re on the left, you get nuance. Sympathy. Even poetic airtime.

But if you’re on the right? If you’re Charlie Kirk? You get demonized in death. You get blamed for your own murder. And your killer gets described as deeply affectionate and complicated—like we’re supposed to admire his emotional depth for sending “I love you” texts before and after pulling the trigger.

There is no way to sugarcoat this: the media has completely lost the plot.

This isn’t journalism. It’s ideological fan fiction. And if there’s any sanity left in this country, Matt Gutman should be out of a job by sundown. But let’s not hold our breath. Because in today’s media circus, nothing gets you promoted faster than sanctifying a killer—as long as he shoots the right person.

And if that doesn’t make you sick, you’re not paying attention.
