On Saturday, NBC News reported, "'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups," indicating the Trump administration's pledge to crack down on such groups is unwarranted.
Tim Graham of Media Research Center says, "The media has engaged in an aggressive effort to deny that the shooter of Charlie Kirk was on the Left."
He concedes that could technically be true in that there may have been no direct communication between Tyler Robinson and groups that advocate for violence on behalf of the transgender community.
But considering Robinson's romantic relationship with a male who is reportedly transitioning his "gender expression" to female, the fact that he targeted Kirk because of his perceived "hatred," and his use of the term "fascist," there is no doubt Robinson was radicalized by the groups and is a far-leftist himself.
NBC's story cites "three sources familiar with the probe," which Graham says could mean anything – including a janitor in the hallway who overheard something.
"I'm so tired of this," he tells American Family News.
He doubts there is a source at all for this misleading article, which takes time to explore the Anti-Defamation League's research showing that "since 2002, right-wing ideologies have fueled more than 70% of all extremist attacks and domestic terrorism plots in the United States."
"What NBC News is doing, let's just say it: they've got some Democrats in a room and got the Democrats to say stuff they thought would be helpful to the Democrats," Graham poses. "These people don't care about what's true and what's false. They care about which side they're on."
They are showing their true nature, he concludes.
