"Your postings on Bluesky (which clearly identifies you as a Post Columnist) about white men in response to the killing of Charlie Kirk do not comply with our policy. For example, you posted: Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is. not the same as violence and Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence."
"KAREN ATTIAH: It actually, I'm still processing, but it's actually been, I have not been able to land a one-on-one on a major network. JIM ACOSTA: No! KAREN ATTIAH: I've You're the first sub-stock one. I went on with Don Lemon. You guys have been the only ones seemingly brave enough. To have me on. So I also just want to say thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me."
Karen Attiah was terminated after social media posts responding to the killing of Charlie Kirk, with her employer citing specific Bluesky posts about white men. The cited posts criticized performative mourning for a white man and linked cultural absolution of violent white men to broader American violence. Since the firing, Attiah reports difficulty booking one-on-one appearances on major television networks, noting only appearances with Jim Acosta and Don Lemon. Attiah criticized mainstream television outlets for refusing to host her, framing the lack of invitations as a sign of media cowardice and a broader reluctance to engage with contentious viewpoints.
