PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: The View Once Erroneously Claimed Kirk Palled With Nazis, Now Mourn.

Behar chimed in again to note that she lived through the 1960s, during a very fraught period of American history filled with political assassinations. “You know, I’d like to be positive about it. I think we did get out of it. The country survived it. We got better. I think we will again. We’re having a traumatic period right now,” she tried to give comfort.

Following their 9/11 segment, moderator Whoopi Goldberg attempted to marry the two subjects by pushing for America to show the same kind of post-9/11 unity for Kirk’s assassination.

“[I]t goes to show that when we put our minds to it, we did figure out what to do. We can figure out what to do…These things are not outside of our reach. And we have to get back to that,” [Whoopi] pleaded. “These are things we cannot forget that we actually have the ability to do. If we do forget it, I don’t know what will become of the country. My fingers are crossed. I’m betting on human beings.”

But The View’s niceties rang a little hollow. In July 2022, Goldberg erroneously claimed Kirk “invited” neo-Nazis into a TurningPoint USA event in Florida. Two days later, The View had to issue a formal on-air apology after Kirk’s organization threatened to file a defamation suit against them.

JUST IN: Paramount Skydance Preparing to Buy CNN Parent Company In Major Media Consolidation, Report.

Paramount Skydance is planning to make a majority cash bid for CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery in an effort to consolidate the media giants, according to reporting in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

“The bid will be for the entire company, including its cable networks and movie studio,” people familiar with the situation told WSJ.

Skydance is run by David Ellison, son of multi-billionaire Larry Ellison who co-founded Oracle Corporation.

Weinstein, a former chief executive of the Hudson Institute, a right-leaning policy think tank, to review complaints about its coverage in a new post as ombudsman at the network…Skydance’s founder, David Ellison, has pledged to revamp CBS News, which regularly lags ABC and NBC in the Nielsen ratings and recently endured a standoff with President Trump over accusations of editorial bias. Mr. Ellison is in talks to acquire The Free Press, an independent news outlet, and install its co-founder Bari Weiss in a senior editorial role at CBS News; last week, the network changed its rules for handling some political interviews after pressure from the Trump administration.”

UPDATE: Perhaps a conservative ombudsman would stop CBS from trying to run the same playbook they used to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting in 2011:

KRAUTHAMMER’S LAW AND CHARLIE KIRK:

BRENDAN O’NEILL: Charlie Kirk was a better anti-fascist than most of the left.

Kirk was enraged by the pogrom of 7 October. In that clash at Cambridge, with the student so well trained in the moral relativism of the modern campus that he couldn’t even draw a moral distinction between a neo-fascist army and the democratic state it attacked, he reminded his overeducated jeerers of what happened that day. This war started, he said, ‘because 1,300 Jews were killed and 200 were taken hostage’. Hamas ‘recklessly’ went to ‘music concerts, to homes, to kibbutzes’, knowing well there would be a ‘firestorm’ in Gaza as a result. The ‘only entity to blame’ for this war, he told the lost souls of Cambridge, is ‘the leadership of Hamas’.

The ‘moral truth’, he said, is that ‘there is a good guy and there is a bad guy’. That’s the ‘morality of a child’, barked his critic, to effusive applause from the assembly of plummy Israelophobes. Then came Kirk’s killer line: ‘A child who knows that Israel is the good guy and Hamas is bad has a lot more wisdom than a student like yourself at Cambridge University.’ He schooled them. It was moral clarity in action. It should not have taken a visiting firebrand from the US to tell some of Britain’s most privileged, well-read youths that the Islamofascists who raped and then murdered Jewish women are the bad guys – but it did.

JERRY SEINFELD COMPARES FREE PALESTINE MOVEMENT TO THE KU KLUX KLAN:

Jerry Seinfeld on Tuesday said he holds the Ku Klux Klan in higher regard than supporters of the Free Palestine movement while at an event to honor people being held hostage in Gaza.

The comic-actor, 71, made the controversial remarks at a Chabad event at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, according to the college’s student newspaper, The Duke Chronicle.

Seinfeld broached the uncomfortable topic as he introduced Omer Shem Tov, a one-time Israeli hostage. He said of Free Palestine supporters, ‘Just say you don’t like Jews.’

The Brooklyn, New York native explained his point of view at the event, according to the student paper.

‘By saying Free Palestine, you’re not admitting what you really think,’ Seinfeld said. ‘So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come right out and say, “We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews” — OK, that’s honest.’

The reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder in the Jewish and Israeli communities is unlike anything I have ever seen. Everyone is eulogizing Charlie — everyone. Every politician, rabbi, and just everyday citizen— everyone feels impacted.

A rabbi went on Fox News and called him “the Abraham of our times.”

I had no idea how important Charlie was to Jews until this morning. I do not recall seeing this level of impact by an individual on the Jewish community— ever. I wonder if Charlie even knew how important he was to these people when he was alive.

Charlie’s life’s work was more important and influential than I ever realized when he was alive.

This, too: “I can’t remember the last time so many officials, journalists and commentators here in Israel made statements about the death of someone who wasn’t an elected politician or statesman of some kind. I hope it brings his family some comfort knowing the Jewish state feels their pain.”
