In coverage of the Charlie Kirk sh00ting, commentator Matthew Dowd wishes he could have one moment back.

Political strategist Matthew Dowd has been getting blasted online for hours in the wake of the sh00ting d3ath that played out on a Utah campus.

President Donald Trump announced that Kirk died in a post on his Truth Social platform.

Before that news came out, Dowd suggested Charlie Kirk’s “hateful” rhetoric led to his sh00ting and speculated that one of his supporters may have fired the sh0t in celebration.

“We don’t know any of the full details of this yet. We don’t know if this was a supporter sh00ting their gun off in celebration.”

Dowd would go on to make more controversial statements, as he appeared to suggest that Kirk had brought this all on himself:

He said this on live television.

What he said was so bad that MSNBC issued an apology, saying, “During our breaking news coverage of the sh00ting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive, and unacceptable,” MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler said in a statement.

“We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise.”

Kirk not only lost his life in a tragic way, but his wife and kids had to witness it as they attended the event.

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend. While it is clear that he will be a part of the overall coverage, the media outlet has remained tight-lipped about the same. Till now, it was only known that Jordan will be acting as a ‘special contributor’ for NBC. But now, there might be some shocking details emerging.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

 

Sherman also pointed out that NBC will also keep the opportunity for Jordan’s role to evolve in the future. Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.

Thus, with things looking quite upbeat for Jordan, it now remains to be seen how things pan out in the future.
