7. CNN frames it as "...celebrating Kirk's murder." Talking about his message is not "celebrating".

Actual CNN.com headline yesterday. "People are getting fired for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. It looks like a coordinated effort."

Here's the link: https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/business/charlie-kirk-death-fired-comments

Bunch of crap. It's been framed as a celebration if anyone discusses the actual facts.

The evil powers sure did frame it early: Flags at half mast, Epstein files off the front page, silencing of a conservative guy calling for the release of the Epstein files, a sudden ignoring of C. Kirk message, replaced with loud/aggressive outrage.

And as a bonus, the firing of anyone "celebrating" Charlie Kirk's murder, by discussing his message.
