MSNBC skipped live coverage of Trump’s posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony for conservative leader Charlie Kirk, drawing criticism.
MSNBC drew criticism on October 14, 2025, for not covering the White House ceremony where President Trump awarded the posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, the late conservative leader assassinated at Utah Valley University.
While major networks including Fox News, CNN, and Newsmax broadcast the event live, MSNBC chose not to air it, instead airing a segment on Trump’s tariffs.
The decision sparked backlash from conservative commentators who called it biased and criticized the network for ignoring a nationally significant ceremony honoring a prominent conservative figure.
The White House described the award as a tribute to a “fearless warrior for liberty,” and the event was attended by top officials and Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
MSNBC did not provide a public explanation for its coverage choice.
