MSNBC received backlash on Tuesday for being the only major news network not to air the posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month during an event at Utah Valley University.
While the majority of cable news networks opted to air the White House ceremony, MSNBC was a noticeable exception.
"In a pathetic, biased tantrum, MSNBC—the propaganda arm of the radical left—stands alone as the ONLY network boycotting President Trump's heroic Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk, proving once again they're too cowardly to cover real American patriotism," protested Republican commentator Eric Deters.

Other conservatives on social media called the decision "disgusting" and noted that even CNN was airing the ceremony.

Instead, they are attacking Trump's tariffs and economy.

.@MrsErikaKirk just accepted the presidential medal of freedom on behalf of her husband at the White House. @MSNBC was the only cable network not to carry her remarks. They are not a news network. Even @CNN carried the remarks live. Shame on you MSNBC.

The ceremony was aired on CNN, Fox News, ABC News, NBC News, NewsNation, Newsmax, One America News (OAN), Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), with MSNBC airing a segment on President Donald Trump's tariffs instead.

"We're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I've ever seen before," said Trump, who posthumously awarded Kirk the Medal of Freedom at the White House on Tuesday afternoon. "[He was] an American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest caliber — the late, great Charlie Kirk."
Kirk's widow Erika Kirk, Vice President JD Vance, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) all took part in the ceremony, delivering their own speeches in remembrance of the late conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA.

The better question is why any network other than the right wing ones aired it.
Of course they would want msnbc to air something so revolting that their viewers would turn off the tv. No mystery there.
Charlie Kirk did nothing for anybody. He wasn't a philanthropist or a humanitarian. He wasn't a great statesman.
So who fucking cares that MSNBC didn't air that undeserved award
Not even sure he qualified as a human being. If he was, he wasn't a good one.
That being said, he still didn't deserve to be murdered.

Yeah, apparently, they love Hitler now.
Not sure I care for the new logo MSNBC.
Why should they have aired it? There is absolutely nothing newsworthy about Trump giving an award to a reactionary activist. Nothing.
I thought barbecuing heretics was the preferred method of disposal ...
