Gillian Turner on Sunday became the second Fox News host to warn conservatives about glorifying Kyle Rittenhouse.
During a segment on MediaBuzz program, host Howard Kurtz appeared to be setting up Turner to blast other media outlets for their coverage of the Rittenhouse trial.
“To me, Gillian, the worst part by far was after Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted, there were liberal commentators who continued to call him a murderer, who continued to call him a white supremacist,” Kurtz said, “as if jury verdicts don’t matter if you disagree with them.”
“Yes, but to be fair, Howie, there were also conservative journalists and conservative pundits who continued herald him as a hero,” Turner replied. “And I think the reality … is that these cases are full of details, pesky little details and they tell their own story and reveal their own truths and so a narrative like this bolstering somebody who’s on trial or trying to denigrate them before the jury has had a chance to consider the facts before them is always a hopeless undertaking. Everybody loses.”
