Foreign Policy

The headline in The Washington Examiner was blunt and to the point. It read, "Liberal media have debased themselves in their anti-Israel coverage." In short, it's the liberal media versus Israel.

Lame duck comedian Stephen Colbert went on a tirade against President Donald Trump’s tariffs and heralded the supposedly impending doom of skyrocketing prices, and ended up beclowning himself in the process.

On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, HBO host John Oliver pointed the finger at two culprits for hunger in Gaza, and neither one of them was Hamas. According to Oliver, it is the U.S. that is “being complicit” in Israel’s campaign to starve Gazans and is unwilling to do anything about it.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s Wednesday interview with Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin hit all of the usual The Late Show beats: puffball questions, Democrat strategizing, and questions from the left. More specifically, the duo would discuss hot dogs, the far-left’s alleged “alpha energy,” and Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

Talk about being the butt of the joke. HBO comedian Bill Maher actually conceded that his typical smart aleck prediction that President Donald Trump's tariffs would wreck the economy by this point was way off the mark. 

CNN This Morning dumps on Trump's European trip. Phil Mattingly calls Trump's ribbon-cutting at his new golf course "completely an anathema to what we think a U.S. president should be doing." He claims that the ceasefires Trump has achieved are "short-lasting," even though the India-Pakistan and Thailand-Cambodia ceasefires are holding. Jonah Goldberg says that Trump makes peace efforts only…

War is a nasty business, which is why it is advised that starting one with a country much stronger than you is a bad idea, but for Comedy’s Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, and NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers, outrage is better directed at the United States because we are supposedly complicit in Israeli war crimes.

The "prestige press" of America and Europe is all too willing to repeat radical accusations that Israel is currently guilty of committing "genocide." Nothing's too inflammatory when Israel is the target. But none of the seven outlets pushing a report from Israel-based leftist groups noted they were backed bigly by leftist billionaire George Soros, who loathes Israel.

The cast of PBS News Hour came together on Friday to decry the “shameful” nature of that day’s layoffs at the State Department. While New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart would claim the move would negatively impact U.S. foreign policy, their reasons for doing so were not convincing.

On Thursday, just a few days before the one year anniversary of President Trump almost being killed, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng and The Daily Show’s audience found great amusement in Iran’s recent threats to assassinate Trump, not so much because Chieng actually wants him dead, but because it gave them an opportunity to mock Trump’s physical appearance.

For their Tuesday podcast, CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour and ex-husband/former Clinton official Jamie Rubin warned that Trump’s budget cuts, both foreign and domestic, will get people killed.

President Donald Trump joined a long line of presidents who complained that the NATO countries fail to pay their fair share and therefore take advantage of the United States. In 2014, the European NATO countries agreed to a target of spending 2% of their GDP on defense by 2024. In 2014, only the United States, the U.K. and Greece were spending at least 2%. In a recent interview, NATO Secretary…

On Morning Joe, Katty Kay introduces a segment on the effect of the Israeli and US strikes on Iran by saying, "not to throw cold water" on any optimism, and then proceeding to cite someone claiming that "there is a potential that the strikes actually could precipitate a situation in which we're less safe, not more safe with Iran."

The Nation justice correspondent and frequent MSNBC talking head Elie Mystal appears to be in a competition with himself to see just how outrageous he can be. On June 28, he joined The Joy Reid Show podcast to claim “our country needs to be sanctioned” because “we are the bad guys on the world stage” after President Trump ordered strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
