Is reporting on Tyler Robinson's love life a fireable offense?
I don't think so... because we need to look into the background of this murderer's motives.
But why stop here?
Why not ask how and why a human male becomes fixated on another male who is seeking to have himself castrated?
Or was Oscar Wilde wrong and THIS is the real "love that dares not speak its name."

Is he the far right loon who shot Charlie Kirk?

Sorry bub. That narrative didn't work. The D left has moved on.

Apparently some reporting on him may be necessary.

Let's see. Right wing extremist murdered by another right wing extremist, who now faces charges?

Maybe this article will help. USA Today isn’t exactly right wing media.
Apologies for the hijack...
I kind of like their DeeperDive AI Summary feature.
The first two suggested prompts are good (curious if everyone gets the same)
1. What engravings were found on the bullets used in the attack?
2. How has political polarization influenced recent violence in the US?
But my prompt 3 (suggested for you) was about Manganese Blue which I was reading about because of an article on Jackson Pollock I was reading. I think it is pulling prompts out of my tracking cookie history bullshit. This is disappointing.

The answer to your question is “no”, but your question doesn’t address the issue.
Is reporting on the shooter’s love life a fireable offense? Of course not.
But the issue is how he reported and what he injected personally.
It’s highly unprofessional reporting to romanticize a brutal killer (like Luigi) by an
obviously gay reporter who is turned on by the use of the term “my love”.
Ask yourself how Mrs Kirk should feel about it. How should Kirk’s mom and dad feel about it?
How should Americans feel about a guy who is supposed to report the news romanticizing and sympathizing with a brutal murderer who blew a guy’s neck apart in front of children and innocent bystanders?
At minimum, he should be off the assignment as he has now shown his bias.
If his employer is concerned about regaining credibility as a news organization to regain viewership after years of bias reporting, and if they feel he now works against that effort, then they have every right to fire him.
PS - notice that after the “humanizing of the monster”, that you now refer to the shooter by his name? The bias already had some effect.
Sympathizing with the killer while villainizing the victim is deplorable…..this reporter intentionally or unintentionally moved the narrative in that direction. My final decision on his employment would rest on whether aI thought he did it on purpose or not.
Agree 100%. If proven guilty, which he most likely is, the killer should be…
referred to as “gutless piece of trash savage.” No better than the murderous tyrant Putin.
Agree. Reporter has now apologized and acknowledged his poor reporting
If i were his employer, I’d take him off the story, and that’s it for now. But I’d watch him - and 2 strikes and your out.
Agree on Putin too - just too many bad names to regularly call him /- but he’s earned them all.
If he apologized, he most likely was coerced by employer. He was just stating his true feelings.

Matt Gutman is straight, married and has children. He is a reputable and award winning journalist.
He has reported FACTS in this case that make people feel "uncomfortable.".

Ok, none of that changes his professional behavior-it’s an employer decision

So now the spin is for Matt Gutman and the alleged killer. Got it.

It was a very weird comment, but no.

Notice after the romanticized report that he now unwittingly he uses the killers full name?
Subtle influences.
Imagine this guy 's spin on Lee Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan.

What spin are you referring to? Tyler's texts speak for them selves... as does the reality of
his lover's self-castration compulsion.
“Tyler” now. See how this works? He is forever “Charlie Kirk’s murderer”.Perhaps had Gutman reported
in Iraq, you would have sumpathy for “Osama” also.
Exactly. "Tyler" That's the non spin spin. These people have zero self awareness.

Isn't the supposed issue that they're not "speaking for themselves"? The reporter's opinion that...
...they are "very touching" has been interjected.
I think it is odd reporting...but "fireable" is up to who he works for...one would assume evaluated on whatever degree that people trust the reporting they are receiving.
Though that standard went out the window long ago for most...
Very soon, the MSM will turn their attention to Erica. You know the digging has already begun.
