In this Media Miss Minute, Charlie Kirk’s widow calls for cameras in the courtroom when her husband’s accused stands trial. And the rich keep getting richer — how much more money America’s 10 wealthiest people gained in the last year.
Media Miss by the left: Erika Kirk asks judge in husband’s murder trial to allow cameras in courtroom
Erika Kirk, wife of the late political activist Charlie Kirk, is urging the judge overseeing the trial of her husband’s alleged killer to allow cameras in the courtroom.
The judge has already imposed media limits, but attorneys for the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, have petitioned for a full ban, arguing that cameras could prejudice the jury.
“There were cameras all over my husband when he was murdered,” Erika Kirk told Fox News. “There have been cameras all over my friends and family mourning. There have been cameras all over me, analyzing my every move, analyzing my every smile, my every tear. We deserve to have cameras in there.”
Judge Tony Graf said proceedings will be “open to the public,” but has not ruled on a blanket camera ban.

Media Miss by the right: Oxfam: 10 richest Americans gained nearly $700B in one year
The 10 wealthiest Americans saw their combined fortunes grow by a combined $698 billion over the past year, according to a new analysis from international nongovernmental group Oxfam.
Oxfam linked the growth to President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” saying its passing facilitated “one of the single largest transfers of wealth upwards in decades.”
According to the report, the poorest household in the top 1% gained 987 times more wealth than the richest household in the bottom 20% between 1989 and 2022.

Straight Arrow News identifies Media Misses based on coverage data available at the time of publication. Some outlets may choose to cover a story after our analysis is published. Our methodology prioritizes timely, prominent coverage across a range of sources, but we continually review and refine our approach to ensure balance and accuracy.
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the comparison between the richest and poorest households covered only the past year. In fact, the data spans a much longer period — from 1989 to 2022. The article has been updated to reflect this correction.
