The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

Headline and lede from Time magazine (did not make the magazine cover) with a generic headshot of Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman that reads Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman Killed, FBI Hunt Suspect Jun 15, 2025 — Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed by an individual impersonating a police officer. -- Hortman was assassinated by a far right extremist along with her husband and dog. The man had a long list of Democrats he planned to kill, and was caught after shooting Minnesota Democrat John Hoffman and his wife Yvette who thankfully survived Headline from time with a photo of Charlie Kirk at the event where he was murdered, smiling and waving at the crowd. The preview time has shared indicates that this will be the cover story of the next magazine. The headline reads The Killing of Charlie Kirk and the Political Violence Haunting America
