MSNBC’s Chris Hayes used his Tuesday All In show to look back to Monday when Vice President JD Vance guest-hosted The Charlie Kirk Show after Kirk was brutally assassinated. As Hayes tells it, Vance was echoing anti-Semitic ideas when he criticized an article in The Nation because that outlet is funded by George Soros.

On Tuesday morning, MSNBC’s Morning Joe bashed Attorney General Pam Bondi for saying “There’s free speech, and then there’s hate speech,” on an episode of The Katie Miller Podcast posted on Monday. While the program granted the legality of hate speech, that can’t be squared with its disdain for digital free speech.

The calls to turn down the political rhetoric were nice while they lasted. On Monday’s The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, the eponymous host warned that President Trump and the administration writ large intend to use the assassination of Charlie Kirk to, among other things, “stay in power indefinitely.”

This space is usually reserved for announcing the results of our Worst Media Take of the Week poll. We didn’t run a vote last week out of respect for Charlie Kirk and his family. 

On Morning Joe, MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire says "motives shouldn't matter" regarding Charlie Kirk's suspected killer, Tyler Robinson. Lemire says that instead, the focus should be on the fact that the country is 'awash in guns," and the harmful influence of social media.

On his eponymous Sunday morning show, MSNBC's Ali Velshi let Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) compare ICE agents to slave patrols and claim they are committing crimes, and Velshi fretted that President Donald Trump is creating a police force that is "lacking accountability," and agreed with Crockett's assertions that the way to fight crime is with poverty programs and focusing on guns.…

But Scarborough didn't try! To the contrary, with his infamous "best Biden ever and f-you if you don't believe it" line, uttered just three months before Biden's disastrous debate performance, Scarborough was urging Biden to stay in the race. Scarborough admits that in their conversations, Biden was "slow, plodding, everything was really stiff, he spoke quietly and haltingly." But Scarborough…

On Friday afternoon's Deadline: White House, MSNBC was back to promoting incendiary rhetoric against Republicans as State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-TN) appeared as a guest and claimed that President Donald Trump's push to use the National Guard to cut crime is motivated by "white supremacist ideology" and asserted that ICE agents are committing "terrorism" in blue cities.

In a letter sent to Friday morning, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts and President Brian Roberts teamed with Mark Lazarus as head of Versant (the new company consisting of spun off cable networks, including CNBC and MSNBC) to demand all company employees get their acts together and show more compassion in light of Charlie Kirk’s assassination while focusing on “fostering civil dialogue.”

On Thursday afternoon, it was unmistakable that MSNBC host Katy Tur was looking to turn the page following Wednesday’s disastrous in which Tur and her assembled guests (such as Matthew Dowd) stepped on one proverbial rake after another with Notable Quotable-worthy first reactions to a Utah Valley University shooting that we would soon learn was the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Writing Thursday morning at his Substack, our friend, conservative talk radio host, and 2025 MRC Bulldog Award winner Erick Erickson laid out the stakes of the evil before us following Wednesday’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, the media’s role in our body politic, and calling Christians to remember the commission to be God’s light in a broken world.

The left-wing media continued to Trumpwash the horrific murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on Tuesday’s edition of The 11^th Hour. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle hosted a panel, including a segment on state-federal law enforcement cooperation and the recent stabbing in Charlotte with former Senator Doug Jones (D-AL), and the two of them griped about the kind of attention…

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there were surely many people who would have liked to speak with President Trump. So, it's notable, for better or worse, that the president apparently accepted Scarborough's call. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough described some of their conversation. Scarborough also commended MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler for having condemned the words of…

The immediate aftermath of horrendous shootings is perceived by some in media to be the best opportunity to interject calls for gun control, or at least imply it. Such was the case during a panel discussion on MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki.
