We don't expect much from the mainstream media in general, especially when it comes to The New York Times, but their Charlie Kirk obituary is a whole new low we honestly didn't think was possible. Then again, this is the same rag that wrote nice things about Hitler (it's true, look it up), so maybe we shouldn't be all that surprised.

Awful.
It doesn't get any better.
From The New York Times:
Charlie Kirk, a conservative wunderkind who, through his radio show, books, political organizing, and speaking tours, did much to shape the hard-right movement that has coalesced around President Trump, becoming a close ally of his, died on Wednesday in Orem, Utah, after he had been shot while speaking at a college campus event. He was 31.
President Trump confirmed the death on his social media site, Truth Social.
Hard-right. Think about that for a minute. People who disagree with the crazy left are apparently the 'hard right' now. And he wrote this in the freaking obituary.
This is real?!

We had a similar reaction when we first saw it, and yes, it's real.
The @nytimes is utter trash. Their progapanda stoked this violence. More blood is on their hands

Of course, they do.

Far right.
Hard right.
Passive-aggressive digs about white supremacy.
There are just no words for how awful legacy media really is. This editor is speechless.
