Social media customers tore into MSNBC.com this week after it revealed a outstanding headline saying that “Laken Riley’s killer never stood a chance.”
The digital outlet’s Thursday article mentioned how the authorized protection workforce for Jose Antonio Ibarra, the unlawful immigrant who was convicted on Wednesday of murdering Georgia nursing pupil Laken Riley in February, “had no chance” due to the overwhelming proof towards their defendant.
Outstanding folks on X discovered the headline for the piece too sympathetic to Ibarra and never targeted sufficient on the sufferer and her grieving household.
“You know who never stood a chance? Laken Riley. The actual victim,” conservative commentator @AGHamilton29 remarked on the social media platform.

MSNBC’s article made the purpose that the decision for Ibarra, who was convicted on a number of counts of homicide and different crimes and sentenced to life in jail with the opportunity of parole, was “never in doubt,” because it was a “hopeless case” for the protection workforce.
“For the defense, this was a hopeless case. The defense did the best it could with bad facts. It almost surely knew it was going to lose,” MSNBC authorized analyst Danny Cevallos wrote.
His piece was not obtained properly on X, with the headline going viral and drawing warmth from these outraged over Riley’s homicide by the hands of a prison who had fled Venezuela and illegally crossed into the U.S. in 2022.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, interpreted the headline as sympathetic to Riley’s assassin. He wrote, “Laken Riley’s killer is now the victim, according to MSNBC.”
Donald Trump Jr. skewered the outlet, writing, “You literally can’t make up this level of depravity. These people are sick. The guy is a murderer. He’s an illegal alien that killed an innocent young woman, but MSNBC would rather go to bat for him. However, much you hate MSNBC, it’s not enough!”
“And this is why MSNBC, the brand, is being sold off for pennies,” The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller wrote, referencing current information that NBC Information and MSNBC dad or mum firm Comcast is planning to spin off a number of NBCUniversal networks, together with MSNBC.

The “Defiant L’s” X account trashed the headline to its over a million followers, stating, “Hey MSNBC, you know who also ‘never stood a chance’? Laken Riley. Laken Riley should be alive today. But she never stood a chance because of this monster.”
Conservative commentator Adam Johnston condemned the headline, posting, “Look at how @MSNBC framed the conviction and sentencing of Laken Riley’s killer. Jose Ibarra never stood a chance? No. Laken Riley never stood a chance against this monster.”
“Absolutely sickening,” he added.
Conservative commentator Paul Szypula wrote, “MSNBC headline paints Laken Riley’s convicted k*ller as a victim. Legacy media is evil.”
Former GOP communications particular person Steve Visitor ripped the outlet and the piece’s writer, writing, “An actual headline from MSNBC: ‘Laken Riley’s killer never stood a chance.’ Ask yourself: Why is MSNBC writing sympathetic headlines for an illegal alien monster and killer? Why is MSNBC’s ‘legal analyst’ Danny Cevallos ok with this headline?”
Tea Social gathering Motion co-founder Debbie Dooley blasted MSNBC workers, posting, “The scumbags at @MSNBC showed sympathy to the animal that brutally murdered Laken Riley. It was Laken that never stood a chance.”
