Is it just me? Or has the left wing online media been pretty lackluster on covering the Kirk assassination?

Half of them took a week to get anything out. Even then the coverage has been meek at best.

I understand not wanting to draw the ire of the raging children in office, but like cmon, get a little backbone.

Best I've seen is TruAnon but even that was late. Anyone know of any left wing media people that have been a little more proactive and timely?

I think thats because Kirk wasnt really interesting or important to any leftists. He was as generic as the conservative movement is at any one time. Hes said lots of evil and sadistic shit but none of it was really that far beyond or pushing new boundaries to the movement as a whole.
