Remember when the left and their media was in meltdown mode after MSNBC was forced to fire hack Matt Dowd after he smeared Charlie Kirk following his assassination? Now bitter little Matt Dowd is bitter that no one gives a shit about him anymore and that Jimmy Kimmel is getting all the attention…
Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd on journalist Katie Couric’s YouTube channel Friday complained about how his former network was covering Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension, but not his firing.
Dowd was fired on Sept. 10 after appearing to suggest on “Katy Tur Reports” the same day that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric naturally led to him being shot. Dowd said on Couric’s YouTube channel that MSNBC pundits were providing wall-to-wall alarmist coverage about Kimmel, whose suspension also followed comments about Kirk, while ignoring him.
“All the shows are talking about how this is awful for America that Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended,” Dowd said. “And isn’t this awful for America and it’s a chilling thing for the First Amendment? They’re saying that on every platform. Not one person has said anything about me.”
“They’ve all gone out of their way to say, ‘Isn’t this horrible what happened to Jimmy Kimmel?’ — even including Morning Joe [Scarborough] and Mika [Brzezinski], who went after me after the show, basically saying they were glad I was terminated,” he continued. “And now today they’re talking about how awful it is for our country that somebody like Jimmy Kimmel can’t say what he said and he is indefinitely suspended. And not an iota about what their employer just did to another employee.”
When MSNBC announced it had fired Dowd, it described his comments as “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable” and apologized for them.
