Matthew Dowd, formerly of MSNBC, was one of the very first people to lose his job for saying something awful following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Now that Jimmy Kimmel has been fired, the very bitter Dowd is even more angry because while people on the left are rallying around Kimmel, no one is talking about him.
This is a window into the mind of the liberal media elite. Dowd really believes that HE is the real story in all of this. His firing is the real tragedy.

Matthew Dowd Gripes About Network Melting Down Over Jimmy Kimmel But Not Him
Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd on journalist Katie Couric’s YouTube channel Friday complained about how his former network was covering Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension, but not his firing.
Dowd was fired on Sept. 10 after appearing to suggest on “Katy Tur Reports” the same day that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric naturally led to him being shot. Dowd said on Couric’s YouTube channel that MSNBC pundits were providing wall-to-wall alarmist coverage about Kimmel, whose suspension also followed comments about Kirk, while ignoring him.
“All the shows are talking about how this is awful for America that Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended,” Dowd said. “And isn’t this awful for America and it’s a chilling thing for the First Amendment? They’re saying that on every platform. Not one person has said anything about me.”
“They’ve all gone out of their way to say, ‘Isn’t this horrible what happened to Jimmy Kimmel?’ — even including Morning Joe [Scarborough] and Mika [Brzezinski], who went after me after the show, basically saying they were glad I was terminated,” he continued.
