You ever wonder how much damage the mainstream media can do with a single lie? The cold-blooded murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University should have been a wake-up call, but a new McLaughlin & Associates poll for the Media Research Center shows the left’s propaganda machine has twisted reality for millions of Americans. The survey of 1,000 likely voters asked: “On September 10, 2025, Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk was murdered while speaking on a college campus. What was the political ideology of his killer?” The options? Left-wing, moderate, right-wing, no ideology, other, or don’t know.
The results are a gut punch: only 24.1% correctly pegged assassin Tyler Robinson as left-wing. A shocking 22.3% thought he was right-wing, 27.5% had no clue, and 13.2% called him moderate. That’s right—nearly a quarter of voters bought the media’s gaslighting that Kirk’s killer was a MAGA type, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel’s quick suspension for that whopper and outlets like CNN playing coy with “elusive motive” nonsense.
Robinson’s leftism was no secret—texts showed he snapped because he “had enough of his hatred,” family confirmed his shift to pro-trans, pro-gay views, and bullet casings etched with “Hey, fascist, catch” and “Bella Ciao” (Antifa’s anthem) screamed radical. But the media buried it, focusing on Kimmel’s “free speech” slap instead. CNN’s Jake Tapper called the suspension “the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I’ve seen in my lifetime.” Priorities, right?
The poll’s breakdowns are damning: left-leaning cable viewers got it wrong 27.7% of the time (right-wing label), while even right-leaning ones missed 18%. Liberals? 35.4% said right-wing, just 12.7% left. Students fared worst: 33.2% right-wing, a measly 4% left-wing. It’s the left’s political violence problem in action—YouGov’s September poll showed 18% of liberals think it’s “sometimes justified”—but media won’t touch it.
This isn’t ignorance; it’s indoctrination. The left owns the narrative, and until we flip midterms, Kirk’s death stays a “mystery.” Voters, wake up—demand truth, not tales.
