Correspondent's 'beyond sick' Reaction to DC Shooting Raises Eyebrows at White House

MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian has been criticized for his reaction to the Wednesday shooting of National Guard troops in Washington D.C. The White House took swift action, labeling Dilanian's commentary as "beyond sick."

During a live broadcast on MS NOW, Dilanian expressed concerns about the normalized presence of the National Guard in the nation's capital, suggesting that some Americans might object to it. He then brought up the controversy surrounding ICE agents wearing uniforms and masks, drawing an uncomfortable parallel between the two scenarios.

Dilanian's comments sparked outrage among critics, who accused him of being tone-deaf and insensitive to the victims' families. The White House quickly weighed in on social media, calling Dilanian's reaction "beyond sick" and implying that Democrats had demonized National Guard troops.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet slammed MS NOW, saying it was about to rebrand again due to the network's recent controversies. Former ESPN reporter Ed Werder suggested that Dilanian be blamed for the violence, while Red State writer Bonchie called him a "disgusting individual."

The White House's response highlights the growing tension between partisan politics and journalistic integrity. As the nation grapples with rising tensions and violence, it is essential to prioritize respectful and informative reporting.

Critics argue that Dilanian's comments were not only insensitive but also perpetuated a divisive narrative that pitted Americans against each other. The White House's response, however, has been criticized for being dismissive and tone-deaf.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of journalists maintaining professional boundaries and avoiding politicized commentary during sensitive events.
 
I THOUGHT THE WHITE HOUSE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ABOUT FAIRNESS AND TRANSPARENCY BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE MORE CONCERNED WITH PROTECTING THEIR OWN PEOPLE THAN REPORTERS WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB. KEN DILANIAN'S COMMENTS MAY HAVE BEEN UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HOLD THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS 🤔💬
 
🤯 I mean, come on! What's wrong with Ken Dilanian trying to bring up some valid points about national security and ICE agents? 🤔 It's not like he was being super inflammatory or anything... I think the White House is just trying to silence him because they don't want any bad PR 💸. And what's with all the drama about journalists having to be "neutral" during events? Can't we just have some real conversations and opinions? 🤷‍♀️ The fact that some people are calling Dilanian a "disgusting individual" is wild... like, let's focus on solving problems instead of attacking each other 💪.
 
🤔 This whole thing is kinda messed up. I mean, Dilanian was just trying to make a point about how normalized the National Guard's presence in D.C. has become, but I guess some people got super upset 🙅‍♂️. The White House's response feels like they're more worried about being seen as "woke" than actually addressing the issues at hand 🤷‍♀️.

I think what's really disturbing is how easily the conversation got derailed into personal attacks 💔. Ed Werder's comment about Dilanian causing violence? That's just insane 😂. And Red State writer Bonchie calling him a "disgusting individual"? That's just hate speech, dude 👎.

We need journalists like Dilanian to hold powerful figures accountable and spark tough conversations 🗣️. We can't just shy away from discussing the complexities of these issues because some people might get uncomfortable 😬. The White House's response is a perfect example of how we should be having more nuanced discussions, not less 💬.
 
🤦‍♂️ I mean, come on, "beyond sick"? That's some next-level shade from the White House 🙄. I'm not sure what's more cringeworthy, Ken Dilanian's comments or the fact that they're still making headlines weeks later 💔. Can we please just have a calm and respectful conversation about national security without resorting to condescending remarks? 😒
 
I think Ken Dilanian was just trying to point out some uncomfortable truths... 🤔 I mean, it's not like he was calling for violence or anything. The ICE agents in masks thing was a weird parallel to draw, but maybe he was trying to highlight the slippery slope of national security vs civil liberties? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I feel bad for him - being called "beyond sick" is a pretty harsh label... 🙅‍♂️ The White House response feels like it's trying to shut down any dissenting voice, which isn't exactly what we need in these uncertain times. Can't we just have a respectful conversation about the issues? 😩
 
I think Dilanian went way too far with those comments 🤯, honestly I'm shocked he didn't realize how his words would be received. He's a journalist, for crying out loud! The White House shouldn't be calling him out like that over the air, it just puts everyone on edge. And now, people are talking about rebranding MS NOW? That's just drama 🙄. The thing is, we need more journalists who can have tough conversations without being tone-deaf or dividing people. We should be having discussions about how to make our country better, not attacking each other over it 💬.
 
I'm so worried about what's happening to journalism 🤕. Ken Dilanian might have gotten his points across, but maybe he didn't choose the right way to say them 🤔. I get that we're living in a super divisive time, and as a journalist, it's their job to comment on it, but not to fan the flames, you know? 😬 It's one thing to express concern about something, but another to draw comparisons between different groups. That can be really alienating for people who are already feeling targeted or marginalized 🤦‍♂️. The White House might see it as a minor thing, but to those on the ground, it can feel like a big deal 💔. We need journalists who can navigate these complexities without stirring up more trouble 🤝.
 
🤔 I mean, come on... what's the big deal about Ken Dilanian saying that some people might object to National Guard troops in D.C.? 🤷‍♂️ It's not like he's advocating for violence or anything. And those ICE agents wearing masks were already a huge issue before this whole thing went down. 🚨 I'm just saying, the White House is trying too hard to spin this and it's backfiring big time. 💥 And btw, what's with all these people calling Dilanian a "disgusting individual"? 😒 Can't we just have a nuanced discussion about the issues at hand? 💬
 
omg i feel so bad for Ken Dilanian 🤕 he was just trying to have a respectful convo about the Nat Guard's presence in D.C. and the White House is like super harsh on him 😡 I get that ppl might disagree but come on, that's what journalism is all about - having differing opinions! 📰💬
 
Wow 🤯, this whole situation is so complicated! I mean, on one hand, you got the White House all upset about Ken Dilanian's comments, but on the other hand, isn't he just trying to have a respectful conversation about something that's really important? And what's with all these people accusing him of being "tone-deaf" and "insensitive"? It feels like we're missing the point here... 🤔
 
I think what's going on here is we need to stop comparing apples to oranges 🍎📺. The National Guard in D.C. is there for a reason, it's not like they're just chillin' in the capital 😊. We gotta respect their role and the reasons behind their presence.

And let's be real, Ken Dilanian's job is to ask tough questions, but he didn't have to cross that line 🤯. He could've focused on the facts without drawing a parallel between ICE agents and National Guard troops. That was a slippery slope, my friend... 👣
 
oh no 🤕 this whole thing is super concerning... i think Ken Dilanian was trying to make a point about the National Guard's presence in D.C. but he totally misfired 🚨. his comments were way too vague and drew an uncomfortable parallel between ICE agents and National Guard troops - that's just not fair 🤦‍♀️. the White House is right to call it "beyond sick" because, yeah, it was a really bad choice of words 😳. what's even more worrying is how everyone's piling on Dilanian and blaming him for the violence 💔. news outlets need to be more mindful about their wording and avoid spreading misinformation or perpetuating divisive narratives 📰. we need journalists who can have tough conversations without being insensitive 👊.
 
🤔 omg i feel like dilanian was just trying to bring up some valid points about the national guard presence in washington d.c.? he wasn't being insensitive, he was just trying to spark a conversation 🗣️. it's not like he was calling for violence or anything. and what's with the white house being so quick to shut him down? 🙄 they're always talking about free speech, but then they get all uptight when someone makes them uncomfortable 😒. i think the real issue here is that dilanian's comments were trying to highlight some tough issues, like police brutality and racism, in a way that's relatable to regular americans 💔. it's not about being "partisan" or "tone-deaf", it's about being honest and willing to have tough conversations 🗣️. we need more journalists like dilanian who aren't afraid to take risks and challenge the status quo 💪.
 
📰👀 honestly thought Dilanian was just trying to spark a conversation about national security but now it seems like he went too far 🤦‍♂️ his comments might have been insensitive to the families of those who were hurt in the shooting, but that doesn't mean we should be calling him out for being "beyond sick" 😒 what's next, are we gonna start labeling journalists who report on sensitive topics as "disgusting individuals"? 🤔 i think the real issue here is how both parties are using these situations to further their own agendas and demonize opposing views. journalism should be about facts, not politics 👊
 
I think the whole thing is super sketchy. I mean, come on, the White House is basically saying that Ken Dilanian's opinion is off limits? That's not how journalism works, fam 🤔. The guy's just trying to have a nuanced conversation about a complex issue and suddenly he's being labeled as "beyond sick". It's like they're more concerned with controlling the narrative than actually addressing the real problems.

And can we talk about how this whole thing is just perpetuating the cycle of fear and division? I'm all for respectful dialogue, but when you're basically telling people that their opinions are invalid, that's not journalism, that's propaganda 📰. We need more fact-checking, more critical thinking, and less knee-jerk reactions from our leaders.
 
🙄 News outlets are quick to throw shade at pundits, but shouldn't they be holding themselves accountable? 🤔 This is just another case of "he said, she said" in the media wars... 📰
 
I'm shocked by the White House's reaction to Ken Dilanian's comments 😳. I think it's great that he was speaking his mind about the controversy surrounding the National Guard in D.C. - it's a complex issue and someone's gotta bring it up 🤔. The fact that the White House is trying to shut him down just makes me think they're more worried about being seen as the "bad guys" than actually having an honest conversation about the issues 🙅‍♂️. As for all the backlash against Dilanian, I think he's just doing his job and asking tough questions - that takes a lot of guts 💪! Maybe instead of attacking him, we should be having this conversation ourselves and trying to find some common ground 🤝?
