Former MSNBC Analyst Matthew Dowd Says Channel "Reacted" to "Right Wing Media Mob" by Firing Him

Former MSNBC Analyst Matthew Dowd Says Channel “Reacted” to “Right Wing Media Mob” by Firing Him

On his Substack, Dowd noted that he made his comments about Charlie Kirk before people realized that he was the target of the attack.

By Alex Weprin

Matthew Dowd, the political operative turned MSNBC analyst who was fired by the cable news channel after making comments about Charlie Kirk, took to Substack to give his side of the story.

Dowd, a veteran of the George W. Bush-Dick Cheney 2004 presidential campaign, was asked by MSNBC anchor Katy Tur about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.”

Dowd, in his response, stated, “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

MSNBC parted ways with him by the end of the day, and on Friday Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, president Mike Cavanagh and Versant CEO Mark Lazarus told staff “that coverage was at odds with fostering civil dialogue and being willing to listen to the points of view of those who have differing opinions. We should be able to disagree, robustly and passionately, but, ultimately, with respect. We need to do better.”

Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman were both shot

on the same night. Both were Minnesota Democrats and elected officials who were targeted for political assassination. Hortman was killed. Compare the coverage her murder got to the coverage Charlie Kirk’s murder is getting. Then try to explain how the corporate corporate media is not completely biased to the right.

Real Whine with Bill Maher guests - Friday, September 12, 2025

ANNOUNCEMENT: Bill is too devastated to do the show this week due to the death of his good friend Charlie Kirk. (He’s also scared that someone is targeting transphobic, sexist, white, male blowhards. He might be next.) Instead of flowers, Bill asks that donations be sent to the Epstein defense fund (for anyone who’s name might be in the Epstein files).
