We’ve all become familiar with the ways of the leftwing media: Wordsmithed, dishonest character assassinations of the positions and persons of the right.
The once venerable Orange County Register represents the latest surrender to these practices. What else can one surmise from its uncritical republishing of the most biased, misleading articles The New York Times and Associated Press can generate?
Most recently, the Register’s front page September 12, 2025, published a hit piece entitled “How Kirk, a conservative activist, shaped a generation,” by the AP.
In this article, the authors engage various writing devices to slander a good man assassinated for the crime of engaging in, and encouraging, free speech for all. With a steep leftward slant, they poke, prod, jab and then jam in as many loaded words and phrases as they can conjure.
By the fourth word, they paint Kirk’s goals as nefarious. From his youth “[Kirk] began plotting a way to mold young minds into conservatism….” They ignored Kirk’s practice of persuasion through open debate and the exchange of ideas, painting him as “countering progressive ideas by inflaming cultural tensions and making provocative declarations. …[He] seemed to relish jeers.” Actually, he withstood them, and their calls to silence him.
Of course, according to the AP, he didn’t draw people through reason and fact-based arguments, but with “glitzy stages with massive screens, pyrotechnics and lighting shows befitting a stadium concert.” These are cheap, dishonest shots against a great intellect, acknowledged by friends and opponents alike.
The authors’ article moved on to impugn Kirk’s motives, declaring he “leveraged his nonprofit celebrity status and a successful podcast into considerable personal wealth,” later driving this false point home by labelling Kirk a “multimillionaire influencer.”
Next, his beliefs were distilled into a cramped, one-line statement designed to conjure images of “The Handmaid’s Tale”: Kirk, according to the AP, “(held) up women as wives and mothers — and men as heads of households.” Oh the horror!
Finally, it cryptically reported, “Kirk was sometimes kept away from schools …. [They] denied requests for him to speak on their campus citing safety concerns,” before mentioning school shootings. Their message? Kirk presented a threat to the school. The truth? The “safety concerns” were for Kirk and his supporters, due to the ever present threat of violence screamed against them daily by the anti-free speech Left, which continually labels Kirk and other conservatives as Hitlerian fascist neo-Nazis.

The waters they chummed for years produced a demented shark willing to slaughter the hated messenger. All Kirk wanted was to talk. And what of his repeated declarations that talk avoided conflict and was the cure to the threat of political violence? Was this irrelevant to the story?Instead, the AP dishonestly tried to pin every negative left-wing trope about “conservatives” onto Kirk, reality be damned, while managing to leave out everything people loved about him, his good nature, sense of humor, humility, love for people, and those things he repeatedly and publicly declared were most important to him: his Christian faith, wife, children, free speech and America. During his many public debates, he insisted that those opposing him move to the front of the line. He didn’t shout down or mock them, treating them with more respect than many deserved.
We all know such a disrespectful hit piece would never be published in a newspaper, conservative or liberal, about any progressive who had died, much less one assassinated for exorcising his God-given rights to openly expressing his views.
