Melissa and Mark Hortman’s assassination did not get this level of coverage from the BBC. Not even close. Insane

The Hortmans were not part of the Imperial clique. Kirk was.

The Hortmans, like Sen Hoffman & his wife, who were also shot... were on a far-right tRump supporting political assassin's long hit list of Democratic lawmakers. This deserved way more coverage than it got.The corporate media bent the knee to tRump.They weren't going to do more than the bare min.

TBF, it's the BBC. I would not expect them to cover it at all.

Not even close. And I was really disappointed with today’s BBC Radio 4 Americast. The panel’s characterization of Kirk was way off IMO.

Don’t forget about the Epstein files, which 51 GOP senators just blocked from being released.

Why should it? Kirk was a national figure, unlike the Hortmans.

"suggested he was responsible"? He fucking confessed to his father and their pastor! OMG the media is a disaster!

The murder of a Trump Youth leader in a nation run by a fascist cabal is going to get maximum hype. It's similar to the canonization of Horst Wessel after his murder in 1930.

Correct. The shootings in Minnesota were of true public servants. No one cares in magaland. Goes the same for children. Charlie Kirk is much more sensational and ironic.

Who was this guy, really? Why is he so important to the mainstream media? It's so odd.

Melissa & Mark Hortman's assassination at the hands of a far-right tRump supporter who had a hit list w the names of MN Dem lawmakers on it... didn't get this much overage from any corporate media outlet.🤬

Because Kirk was one of their own; a commentator, not a politician.
