111. It's not a matter of "personal view," it's that this sentence from their report is objectively false:

Tue Sep 23, 2025, 11:09 AM

Tuesday

"the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement."

He simply never made any comment linking the killer to MAGA. (Whether you call any such comment a personal view or not doesn't matter.)

He did make comments about MAGA people trying to deny any possibility that the killer might be MAGA (i.e. pointing the finger in every other possible direction), despite the fact that nobody knew, either way. That is in no way the same thing as linking the killer to MAGA.
