Katy Tur is a MSNBC host who has invited many people on her show as of late to bash Charlie Kirk and his beliefs. One of those was the now famous Matthew Dowd exchange where he suggested Charlie may have been killed by one of his supporters shooting a gun in 'celebration'. There is one fact it is important for viewers to note: Katy's own dad is trans. That may color her coverage of the issue.
NEW: When MSNBC host Katy Tur had Matthew Dowd on to suggest transgenderism critic Charlie Kirk reaped what he sowed -- "hateful words lead to hateful actions ... expect awful actions" -- Tur did not disclose that her journalist father is transgender ... Bob Tur is now "Zoey" ... pic.twitter.com/qXOTd0RwR8

Lots of us already knew. It’s in her book. I don’t expect Katy to constantly say so.

Most viewers don't read a host's book. While it's certainly not necessary to say it every day, at times like this, she should say something.
Her dad is the one who grabbed Ben Shapiro by the neck and threatened to send him home in an ambulance for not affirming his pronouns. pic.twitter.com/1aTJUOYst3

Her dad is very angry. Wow!
I wonder how Katy Tur would act today if she was in that church that was shot up in Minneapolis by a trans fanatic. I’m sure a liar like her would quickly blame the gun and not the trans fanatic. That is “journalism” today. Always look at the gun, never at who pulled the trigger. https://t.co/o1NXYqZ1qP

So, Bob was married and had two children, and abused all of them? He then decided he was a woman? He then changed his name from Bob to Zoey? If all of this is accurate, then how can anyone say that Transgenderism is not a mental illness?

That's pretty good evidence.
I had to check for myself because I couldn't believe it, and you were right!

Hey @KatyTurNBC @MSNBC care to comment on this? Do you think maybe Katy should have disclosed her bias?

It's important context.
Wow! She should be nowhere near this issue. Or a camera for the most part.

What the hell is in the water these freaks are drinking?

It's clearly contaminated.
The fact that news networks get away with all their lies and misinformation is ridiculous and dangerous. This needs to stop. They need to be held accountable.

They count on their viewers never learning the facts.
