As we highlighted yesterday, ABC News reporter Matt Gutman single handedly sunk the legacy media to a new low by turning Tyler Robinson’s cold messages confessing to the murder of Charlie Kirk into some sort of demented love drama.
Gutman described the messages, in which the suspected assassin confessed to Kirk’s assassination to his transgender lover and debated how he would retrieve the weapon he used, as “touching.”
Eveyone who saw it was completely disgusted.
But not surprised.
Various Democrats keep calling on the right to tone things down, even though the violence is coming from their side. The ladies of ‘The View’ on ABC apparently didn’t get the memo because they have gone right back to their toxic style of broadcasting.
During the program on Wednesday, host Joy Behar lamented that “the elephant in the room is that we’re screwed!” as she pointed out that we still have more than three years left in Trump’s presidency.
Wait until she finds out what just happened to Jimmy Kimmel. By the way Joy, you might not want to make jokes about elephants in the room.
NewsBusters reports:
The body of conservative activist Charlie Kirk wasn’t even in the ground yet when ABC co-host Joy Behar decided to go back to spewing inciting rhetoric against President Trump and conservatives. During Wednesday’s episode of The View, Behar proclaimed that America was “screwed” and moderator Whoopi Goldberg proclaimed that she didn’t know how long the Constitution would last. And not a single person on set seemed to reflect on their hyperbolic doomsaying given recent events.
An exasperated Behar interjected during their conversation about the Senate hearing of FBI Director Kash Patal to fret about the future of the country:
BEHAR: You know. I’m sorry, I feel as though–
GOLDBERG: Take a breath. Take a deep breath. Take a breath, Joy, take a breath and tell us.
BEHAR: I feel like we’re trapped in a bad movie, like you’ve got these incompetent people running the government and we’re like a bunch of sitting ducks. You’ve got the puppy killer. You’ve got the signal cake guy, what’s his name, Hegseth.
“I mean, there’s no end to the incompetency that we are experiencing as Americans!” she shouted. “So, I can almost not even talk about individual situations like this, because the overall picture and the elephant in the room is that we’re screwed!”
CC Chairman Brendan Carr has done the impossible: He got ABC to consider the tone of its often offensively partisan programming and make a change. Disney-owned ABC abruptly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from its broadcast lineup late Wednesday, hopefully ending Kimmel’s ugly career.
The move is more likely in response to Carr’s threat of consequences for ABC, issued on The Benny Show podcast with Benny Johnson, than Kimmel’s unfunny, untrue monologue insulting the conservative movement while it mourns the senseless loss of one of its brightest lights.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.
It was a tone-deaf pack of lies. The alleged assassin is not MAGA. At 22 he is not a kid. And he has numerous overtly leftist characteristics. Kimmel tried to throw his viewers off the scent of the truth, and, with a sickening mirth, kicked hurting people while they are down. The few fools who still watched his show surely assumed his words were true. Many people get their news from so-called comedy monologues and assume the premise of the “joke” is at least accurate.
Disney’s ABC said it would take Jimmy Kimmel‘s popular late-night show off its schedule “indefinitely” after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it would pre-empt airings of the program following remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Nexstar said Wednesday that its “owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future, beginning with tonight’s show.” The company said it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”
In his monologue Monday night , Kimmel said that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder. Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, was shot and killed Sept. 10 at a debate at Utah Valley University. Three days later, authorities announced they had arrested the suspected shooter.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, last week.
It was later revealed that the suspect was identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah. Robinson was reportedly turned in by his father, who contacted authorities through a minister connected to law enforcement.
Utah authorities on Tuesday released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.
In the text messages, Robinson revealed why he murdered Kirk, saying, “he had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.” In other words, a radical, pro-trans leftist killed Kirk because he told the truth.
The Far-left, Trump-hating Kimmel, though, told his late-night audience on Monday that a MAGA REPUBLICAN murdered Kirk and accused the right of trying to score political points off of it.
How despicable.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel claimed.
Kimmel went on to mock Trump’s response to Kirk’s death, playing a clip of a reporter asking how Trump was holding up.
Trump responded that he was doing okay before describing the construction of the new ballroom at the White House. Of course, Kimmel does not provide any context for Trump’s statement because that would not fit the narrative.
“This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he (Trump) called a friend,” Kimmel sneered. “This is how a 4-year-old mourns a gold fish, okay.”
An ABC reporter who was in attendance at a press briefing in Utah where charges against the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination were detailed claimed that the text messages between the alleged killer and his transgender romantic partner were “very touching.” In those messages, Tyler Robinson urged his lover Lance Twiggs to destroy evidence to help cover up his connection to the killing.
Matt Gutman told viewers “we have seen an alleged murderer with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it.
“But also it was very touching, in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect, a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling him ‘my love’, and ‘I want to protect you my love.’
“So it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting… riveting press conference.”
Since a suspect was named, there has been an effort among mainstream media outlets to paint him as a person on the far-right wing and now that this narrative has been proven false by investigators, ABC takes the view that the alleged killer was a loving partner to his trans boyfriend.
President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska in a historic attempt to end the more than two-year war between Ukraine and Russia. Since Russia’s 2022 invasion, tens of thousands have died, while millions have been displaced. The Alaska summit marked the first serious step toward direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.
But for ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and the rest of the propaganda press, a Trump-negotiated peace itself was a problem. Instead of acknowledging the significance of Trump’s diplomacy, Raddatz spent her Sunday segment disparaging the president for daring to treat Putin like a foreign leader who can choose to keep the war going rather than a pariah.
Raddatz opened her report by sneering at diplomatic courtesy:
Russia’s Vladimir Putin, responsible for invading Ukraine and the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians, given a red carpet arrival, a warm handshake and a ride in the presidential limousine to a closed door three-hour meeting with the whole world watching and waiting.
Notably, Raddatz apparently had no such objections (based on a cursory search of the web) to “warm” welcomes when then-President Joe Biden rolled out the red carpet for Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.
Consider this your regular reminder that The View is the biggest garbage fire on television.
This week, as ICE agents were being violently attacked in separate incidents in Texas and California, Sunny Hostin said that the people who work for ICE deserve the ‘reckoning’ that is coming to them.
As you watch the clip below, remember that this show is considered part of the ABC News division. It’s amazing that they allow themselves to be portrayed this way.
NewsBusters reported:
Sunny Hostin Says CBP, ICE Deserve Violent ‘Reckoning’ Coming for Them
In a segment about Alligator Alcatraz, faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin blamed President Trump for the death threats immigration enforcement officials were facing. “What I am seeing is an uptick in rhetoric against CBP and ICE enforcers who are dealing with this problem because they’re being told by the President of the United States that they have to,” she lamented…
Upon hearing the story, Hostin immediately launched into seemingly suggesting that the agents deserved it because they wear masks:
If they would do their jobs the way that I think they should be doing their jobs, which is unmasked without disappearing people from the streets, I don’t think that the public would feel as endangered. Because if someone approaches my loved one who is undocumented with a mask, how do I know that they’re actual law enforcement and how do I know they work for ICE? So, that’s one thing I’ll say.
The threat seemed to solidify further when she declared that “in my world, if you mask yourself because you don’t want to be seen…there will be a reckoning for some of the actions that law enforcement, actual law enforcement have done!”
The mainstream media has often been out with some pretty outrageous takes, including and especially when it comes to President Donald Trump’s best issue, immigration. ABC News may have truly outdone themselves this week, though, with their framing of dangerous MS-13 gangs.
In an article about a violent MS-13 gang member leader, who was facing federal racketeering case involving eight murders, as well as a post shared over X about the article, ABC News used the term “MS-13 clique.”
“The leader of an MS-13 gang clique in the New York City suburbs is facing sentencing in a federal racketeering case involving eight murders, including the 2016 killings of two high school girls on Long Island,” read the article’s subheadline, with the post over X using similar language, adding how those murders “focused the nation’s attention on the violent gang.”
The ABC News show ‘The View’ is an abomination to American television.
During the broadcast today, co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that black people living in the United States are as oppressed as people living in Iran, where women have to submit to dress codes, and being gay is punishable by death.
Her comments came during a loud and incredibly stupid discussion about American foreign policy with regards to what’s currently unfolding in Iran.
It’s really amazing that this show is still on the air.

FARAH GRIFFIN: It’s not even the same! I couldn’t step foot wearing this outfit in Iran right now.
GOLDBERG: Oh, no! That’s not what you mean to say. It is the same.
FARAH GRIFFIN: No, it’s not. The year 2025 in the United States is nothing like — if I stepped foot wearing this outfit in Tehran right now.
[Crosstalk, Haines trying to bring up Mahsa Amini]
FARAH GRIFFIN: I can’t have my hair showing. I can’t wear a skirt. I can’t have my arms out.
[Crosstalk]
HOSTIN: And it’s for us to judge?
FARAH GRIFFIN: I literally said it’s up to the Iranian people.
HAINES: Yes, it is up to them.
GOLDBERG: And that’s why I’m saying it is the same! Murdering someone for their difference is not good whoever does it! It’s not good!
[Applause]
So, that’s why I said you weren’t saying what you — what I heard was not what you meant.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Okay. I think it’s very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is in Iran.
GOLDBERG: Not if you’re black!
HOSTIN: Not for everybody!
GOLDBERG: Not if you’re black!
FARAH GRIFFIN: Guys, don’t compare us to Tehran. No one at this table should go to Tehran.
