It contends that outlets mischaracterized the political motives of Charlie Kirk&#8217;s alleged killer, mislabeled deported El Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a &#8220;Maryland man,&#8221; and wrongly predicted that President Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariffs would trigger a recession. The piece criticizes coverage that portrayed Elon Musk&#8217;s inauguration gesture as a Nazi salute and recounts reporting around James Comey&#8217;s actions and later legal troubles. It accuses commentators of blaming Charlie Kirk&#8217;s rhetoric for violence, of asserting a false &#8220;both sides&#8221; equivalence in political violence, and of presenting NPR as impartial despite alleged bias. The article also disputes media warnings that Robert F.Kennedy Jr. as HHS secretary would endanger public health and questions claims that Stephen Colbert&#8217;s show was canceled for political reasons. the column frames these items as examples where mainstream outlets promoted inaccurate or misleading narratives.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_5)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_6)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_7)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_8)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_9)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_10)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_11)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_12)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_13)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Liberal media outlets were definitely working overtime in 2025 to communicate news to the American public that just wasn&rsquo;t true.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 10 prime examples:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Political Ideology of Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s Alleged Assassin Is MAGA or Unknown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A poll released in early December <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-poll-shows-likely-voters-duped-regarding-politics-charlie-kirks-alleged-assassin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found<\/a> &ldquo;The plurality of respondents (27.5 percent) professed no knowledge of [Tyler] Robinson&rsquo;s political ideology.
