I thought something was off about him back when he had a couple of the independent journalists who filmed the Rittenhouse situation on his show, in particular when he led Richie McGinniss into framing his going to Kenosha a certain way so as to make it sound like he was out there wanting to see violence in order just to be able to film it.

McGinniss agreed with it in the sense of like, "well yeah, if you drive all that way to get footage and something happens, then it vindicates your sense to go film there", but Murphy set it up in a way where it was like you actually need to see violence or it's a waste of time.

Okay, kind of stupid to bring that up, but not that bad, but the weird thing was that the screen was split so you could see smaller thumbnails of all three people, but right as he was leading McGinniss to say that he cut to full screen of McGinniss, with his name underneath, and then he says this kind of incriminating thing about his motives for being there to film, then instead of staying on full screen he goes right back to split screen and he can see this shit eating grin on Murphy's face, like "I got him".

I remember thinking, why did you do that? That's a perfectly clipable piece to use out of context for the Left to use, and why are you looking like you just got away with something? I began to distrust him at that moment.
