"Welcome to the new normal, where a late-night comedian making fun of the president is 'the sickest conduct possible,' but calling for trans people to be institutionalized was just Charlie Kirk practicing politics the right way."

"The timing isn't coincidental. This is happening while people are still being fired for not mourning Charlie Kirk appropriately. Karen Attiah lost her Washington Post column. Airline pilots got grounded. Hospital workers were terminated. Now a comedian with one of the longest-running shows on television gets yanked off the air for making a joke about Trump…."

Read the Jimmy Kimmel Monologue That Led to an FCC Crackdown
The comedian condemned Kirk's murder and called it "monstrous." That wasn't enough. He had to mourn correctly or lose his show.Parker Molloy (The Present Age)
"Time and again, the corporate media would rather surrender than fight for their First Amendment rights.
But ownership is also driving the shift. …
There are exceptions, but much of the corporate press is now too loyal to, or too afraid of, Trump to act as a true check on power."

"That could never happen here, right? Not with our long tradition of a vibrant, free media?
Well, the MAGA Right is on the verge of controlling the vast majority of the American media ecosystem.
A dynamic highlighted by the fact that Disney announced it was bowing to pressure from the Trump Administration and pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely because of comments he made about Charlie Kirk."

"One of the necessary conditions for an authoritarian takeover is control of the media. It’s a critical step to quash dissent—turning a free press designed to hold power accountable into a propaganda organ that amplifies the state’s message."

"And while they cloak their project in American flags and talk of law and order, the blueprint is the same one authoritarian regimes across the twentieth century wrote in blood: silence the critics, glorify the leader, criminalize dissent."

"Donald Trump and his loyal enforcer Stephen Miller have once again revealed the heart of their political project: to recast the state as an instrument of vengeance against dissent. ...
Trump and Miller do not simply want to punish their critics—they want to reshape America into a machine of loyalty and fear. Their vision requires enemies because enemies justify repression."

"Kimmel’s accusation that Trump is using the Kirk murder for political payback was right on the money.
It’s not as if this is surprising. It’s not as if we haven’t been warned about what’s coming again and again. It’s not as if the President of the Right hasn’t signaled his yearning for absolute rule day after day after day."

"This approach has been widespread in the punditocracy, which has almost uniformly moved to hold Kirk up as a rare avatar of civil disagreement in an uncivil era.
These pundits' paeans to Charlie Kirk's 'civil' approach to politics ignore the many illustrations of his incivility."

"As the nation reckons with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, there has been a notable trend from mainstream pundits and press outlets. They have tended to downplay or outright ignore the ugly things that he said and instead to stress the polite ways he said them. It's an emphasis on style over substance."

"It is really important to understand the contrast between Trump’s behavior and those of previous presidents for two reasons [after a highly publicized murder of an outspoken ideologue]: First, to get a clear measure of the extent of our moral descent. And second, to fully understand the authoritarian dangers our republic is facing."

"Fueled by the rhetoric of prominent politicians, social media platforms have turned into a staging ground for collecting names and orchestrating campaigns to call for firings. Conservative social media influencers have encouraged people to submit posts of coworkers or community members, and then have used their large platforms to amplify calls for punishment."

The person arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder?
As Joyce Vance says,
"The suspect [is] a cisgender white man raised in a religious, Republican home."
So will Wall Street Journal and New York Times now apologize for promoting the lie about bullet casings left behind by the shooter that were marked with "transgender" symbols, whatever the jumping hell that means?
I doubt it.
