   The phrase “Kill the Messenger” is an expression which refers to being angry at the person bearing bad news, even though the bad news has nothing to do with them. Let’s say I told you something you didn’t want to hear, and you took your anger out on me, I could say, “Hey, don’t kill the messenger!”

   I watched the show just a few hours ago, and I’d imagine – since he spent most of the show telling harsh truths about white people and women – that by titling his show in that way, he’s basically saying, “Hey, I just tell the truth, don’t get mad at me!”
