At what point does a journalist stop being a reporter and start becoming a liability to civil discourse? In Paul Mulholland’s case, the line was crossed long ago, but his recent behavior removes all doubt. Mulholland has moved beyond bias, beyond sensationalism, and into outright endorsement of extremist, violent rhetoric.
On Dec 4th, 2024, Paul Mulholland retweeted a chilling message from the account @queerelderabuse:
Now, translating this statement into its basic meaning really brings it home.
“Murdering CEOs is direct action. It is corporate sabotage. If you’re going to do it, make sure it’s targeted, organized, and makes a political statement.”
This isn’t satire. This isn’t a joke. This is an open call to treat murder as an acceptable political tool. And Paul Mulholland, by his own admission, states that his retweets signal endorsement.
Let that sink in: a man claiming to be a journalist publicly supports messaging that advocates targeted killings of business leaders.
Journalism demands ethical distance from violence. It demands a commitment to dialogue, investigation, and truth, not cheerleading for corporate terrorism. Mulholland’s behavior is the exact opposite of that standard. His amplification of murder advocacy reveals either an alarming lack of judgment or, worse, a deeply broken moral compass.
And this isn’t a one-off lapse. Mulholland’s Twitter feed reveals a pattern of radicalization. He openly supports Luigi Mangione, an alleged murderer hailed as a class war hero. Mulholland surrounds himself with ideologues, not journalists. He does not seek balanced truth; he seeks ideological warfare.
It’s no surprise then that Mulholland’s “journalistic” career began with obsessive fan-like behavior toward the adult industry, before pivoting into self-righteous outrage. Like so many who orbit extreme industries, whether wrestling, porn, or politics, Mulholland exhibits the telltale symptoms of “main character syndrome”: a desperate hunger to insert himself into scandals, a desire to cast himself as the hero, the victim, and now, apparently, the revolutionary.
His “exposé” on the adult entertainment business reeks of the same desperation: cherry-picked testimonies, ignored context, and the relentless framing of himself as the fearless truth-teller battling evil. Now, with this latest retweet, the mask drops entirely: it’s not about truth, it’s about power. And violence, apparently, is acceptable collateral damage in Paul Mulholland’s war for attention.
But it gets even worse. On Sept 27th, 2024, Paul Mulholland tweeted:
“Why does every jingoistic Israeli sound like a Nazi?”
In one sweeping, hateful sentence, Mulholland managed to smear an entire nationality and trivialize the greatest atrocity of the 20th century. Comparing Israelis, or any group of Jewish people, to Nazis is a textbook antisemitic trope, universally condemned across political and journalistic circles. It’s the language of resentment, not reason. It’s a vulgar weaponization of the Holocaust for cheap political points. It’s behavior unworthy of any journalist, or frankly, any decent human being.
Any respectable media outlet should treat Mulholland’s work as radioactive. His endorsement of murder, and casual antisemitism disqualifies him from being considered a serious voice in journalism. Until he publicly disavows these extremist views and apologizes, no editor with integrity should touch him.
The bottom line is brutal but simple: Paul Mulholland has exposed himself. Not only as a fake journalist, but as an extremist opportunist. His credibility is now buried right alongside whatever principles he abandoned to get here.
