Hamas Can't Be Beat, Says NYT's Veteran Anti-Israel Voice in Top Story

December 29th, 2023 9:55 PM

The New York Times lead story Thursday certainly was a downer for those who support the one democracy in the Middle East in its war on the terrorists of Hamas. Longtime reporter Neil MacFarquhar penned “Skepticism Grows Over Israel’s Ability to Dismantle Hamas.” But MacFarquhar’s long history of anti-Israel, pro-Arab bias makes him the perfect reporter not to pen a lead story on the…

December 29th, 2023 9:36 PM

Networks Admit 'Border Crisis,' But Won't Quote Republican Criticism

December 29th, 2023 5:24 AM

The leftist networks treated the Trump administration as a perpetual scandal on immigration, whether it was a "Muslim ban" or separating families at the border.
