    I googled “Kirk Shooter Trans Girlfriend”, but the only media I could find reporting it were Fox News and New York Post, and the latter admitted the person in question was neither trans nor the shooter’s lover, just that they were “Cooperating with the FBI”

    The NYP was especially vile as it just went on about how great of a guy Kirk was, paradoxically claiming Kirk was practicing love and kindness by being openly transphobic. How Orwellian.

      Eh, I wouldn’t call it Orwellian. It’s pretty well l own that Fox News isn’t really news (local fox news channels are, just not the national “Fox News,” which is “news entertainment”). Likewise, the NYP is pretty awful and slanted.

      It would be Orwellian if all the major networks were saying the same, wrong thing.

        I meant Orwellian in that they claimed one thing (Charlie Kirk is loving and caring) and their example was the exact opposite (Charlie Kirk hating transpeople)… War Is Peace and all that
