Media's Weirdly Low Interest in the Charlie Kirk Assassination Case
#Tim contrasts the muted press coverage of Tyler Robinson's case and Thomas Matthew Crooks' Trump assassination attempt with the tabloid frenzy of his childhood (OJ Simpson, JonBenét Ramsey, Covington Catholic), arguing the lack of digital footprint and media disinterest is suspicious.
10moments
- Candace Owens is investigating the case and turning up weird things, but nobody really knows what's going on.
- Tyler Robinson's furry boyfriend Lance Twigs has disappeared, and people speculate the whole family is in witness protection.
- Tim breaks down why this case bothers everyone: the media used to obsess over salacious crimes like OJ Simpson and Lacy Peterson.
- The old media would camp on lawns, climb through windows, and chase down anyone connected to a case, but that energy is missing here.
- The guy who tried to shoot Trump had no digital footprint at age 20, which is weirdly impossible for someone that age.
- A man was murdered by someone with contradictory political opinions who was dating a furry or transitioning person, and the family were MAGA people.
- The press claims they don't want to jeopardize the trial, but they had no such concerns about jury integrity during the OJ Simpson case.
- The OJ Simpson verdict was so big they played it in Tim's fifth-grade classroom while the world watched.
- The American media's entire job used to be hunting down people connected to crimes and parading the details on television and in magazines.
- Tim wants to know what happened to that media culture and how many people are under the Kirk gag order that can't speak about the case.
