Tur is accused of immediately attacking Kirk&#8217;s character by labeling him &#8220;divisive&#8221; and &#8220;polarizing&#8221; shortly after his death, shifting the focus toward political issues such as Utah&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reports-red-flag-laws-result-in-66-firearm-confiscations\/\" title=\"Reports: Red flag laws result in 66 firearm confiscations\">gun laws<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wrong-line-of-work-uk-border-force-boss-says-bloody-borders-are-pain-in-the-bloody-ass\/\" title=\"Wrong Line of Work? UK Border Force Boss Says &#039;Bloody Borders&#039; Are &#039;Pain in the Bloody Ass&#039;\">potential political fallout<\/a>.While MSNBC reportedly fired analyst Matthew Dowd for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >similar offensive remarks<\/a> about Kirk, Tur remains employed, which the article suggests reflects poorly on the network. The piece argues that Tur&#8217;s rhetoric exemplifies a media that acts as a partisan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-finally-discovers-china-uses-u-s-media-to-attack-the-united-states\/\" title=\"CNN Finally Discovers China Uses U.S. Media To Attack The United States\">propaganda arm<\/a> of the Democratic Party, lacking basic decency and showing no accountability for its role in fostering political polarization and violence. The author calls for Tur to be not only dismissed but publicly shamed for her conduct.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cDkmDHWbTC4&amp;list=PLDIVi-vBsOEwoDbuM4kTJBk9ZnH0ut_5T\">MSNBC\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/11\/msnbcs-katy-tur-should-be-fired-for-her-soulless-charlie-kirk-assassination-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=MSNBC%E2%80%99s%20Katy%20Tur%20Should%20Be%20Fired%20For%20Her%20Soulless%20Charlie%20Kirk%20Assassination%20Coverage&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/11\/msnbcs-katy-tur-should-be-fired-for-her-soulless-charlie-kirk-assassination-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=MSNBC%E2%80%99s%20Katy%20Tur%20Should%20Be%20Fired%20For%20Her%20Soulless%20Charlie%20Kirk%20Assassination%20Coverage&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/11\/msnbcs-katy-tur-should-be-fired-for-her-soulless-charlie-kirk-assassination-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/11\/msnbcs-katy-tur-should-be-fired-for-her-soulless-charlie-kirk-assassination-coverage\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=MSNBC%E2%80%99s%20Katy%20Tur%20Should%20Be%20Fired%20For%20Her%20Soulless%20Charlie%20Kirk%20Assassination%20Coverage&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/11\/msnbcs-katy-tur-should-be-fired-for-her-soulless-charlie-kirk-assassination-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>MSNBC correspondent Katy Tur spewed some of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/10\/divisive-figure-media-ghouls-rush-to-smear-charlie-kirk-after-horrific-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">soulless commentary<\/a> imaginable during her &ldquo;coverage&rdquo; of Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s assassination &mdash; and to little surprise, she still has a job.<\/p>\n<p>Abdicating all sense of humanity, Tur did her very best to smear the TPUSA founder shot and killed during a Wednesday speech at a Utah college. The MSNBC hack launched into a tirade slandering Kirk as &ldquo;divisive&rdquo; and &ldquo;polarizing&rdquo; before the now-deceased husband and father of two&rsquo;s body was even cold.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2041565629\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&ldquo;Charlie Kirk was a divisive figure; polarizing; lightning rod; whatever term you want to use. Why?&rdquo; Tur asked her guest. <\/p>\n<p>The unhinged MSNBC correspondent went on to put politics at the forefront of her coverage of the tragedy. She notably attempted to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/10\/divisive-figure-media-ghouls-rush-to-smear-charlie-kirk-after-horrific-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">frame<\/a> the assassination around Utah&rsquo;s &ldquo;permissive&rdquo; gun laws and pondered the political consequences of this latest example of violence against conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You can imagine the [Trump] administration using this as a justification for something,&rdquo; Tur said. <\/p>\n<p>Tur also seemingly <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ForAmerica\/status\/1965866991228502345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attempted<\/a> to &ldquo;both sides&rdquo; the assassination of Kirk and fomented fears that someone on the right could &ldquo;tak[e] up the cause of Charlie Kirk&rdquo; and go after Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>While MSNBC has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/msnbc-fires-analyst-matthew-dowd-for-unacceptable-comments-about-charlie-kirk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a> fired analyst Matthew Dowd for his <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/10\/divisive-figure-media-ghouls-rush-to-smear-charlie-kirk-after-horrific-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disgusting commentary<\/a> about Kirk, the network has not announced as of publication whether Tur will remain employed following her conduct. (A <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MSNBCPR\/status\/1965913652671754280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> from MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler condemning Dowd&rsquo;s comments was published to the network&rsquo;s public relations X <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/facebook-banned-the-western-journal-publisher-without-warning-disabling-key-publishing-functions-weeks-before-election\/\" title=\"Facebook Banned The Western Journal Publisher Without Warning, Disabling Key Publishing Functions Weeks Before Election\">account &#038;mdash<\/a>; which boasts 24,100 followers &mdash; but not its <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MSNBC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">main X account<\/a> &mdash; which boasts 5 million.)<\/p>\n<p>That Tur hasn&rsquo;t yet been handed the pink slip speaks volumes about MSNBC. Then again, given the network and its personnel&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/msnbc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">horrific behavior<\/a> over the years, it&rsquo;s unsurprising. <\/p>\n<p>In anything, Tur&rsquo;s rhetoric represents a perfect encapsulation of what America&rsquo;s media have become: a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party whose concern for basic decency pales in comparison to their addiction to the leftist pagan religion they follow. <\/p>\n<p>For years, the media &mdash; working alongside their Democrat allies &mdash; have smeared conservatives with the most repulsive labels one could think of. And rather than acknowledge their culpability in violent acts like that against Kirk, they double down with the type of unhinged behavior displayed by Tur.<\/p>\n<p>Tur shouldn&rsquo;t just be fired for her inhumane conduct. She should be publicly shamed to the point where any other &ldquo;news&rdquo; organization would feel the full weight of embarrassment for even considering whether to hire her. But that&rsquo;s assuming the media are even capable of feeling shame at all.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
