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?

Which left wing media? I've seen a disappointing amount of people grifting and joining the liberal whitewashing eulogy thing or trying to use it strategically to blame Israel, which doesn't bother me at all. Even though it normalizes the usually right wing conspiratard form of "analysis". Maybe I'm just coping after seeing Galloway saying that Kirk was about to turn against Israel, that he was "presidential" and basically he'd turn into some reincarnated JFK so he had to be taken out early because he was such an important rising star with almost the right ideas. Can't bear to think that this absolute bullshit isn't somehow tactical gifting.
