Israel/Palestine

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, who is launching his own media company, traveled to CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip on Thursday to discuss the conflicting narratives behind the deaths of several Gazans who were gathered around an aid truck. While Hasan had no problems relying on Hamas-supplied statistics, he condemned the media for trusting the Israeli military while comparing it to…

You can tell a media outlet is on the left by the way it's resistant to describing leftist allies – even their radicals in their base – with an ideological label. Sometimes, you’ll know someone is a raving socialist when they are called “liberal” or “progressive,” like Bernie Sanders. But pro-Hamas activists are never presented as “far left,” “hard left,” or “radical left.”  

On Monday's NewsNight show, for the second time in less than a week, CNN host Abby Phillip discussed the war in Gaza with a liberal guest whom she prodded to convey whether Israel is committing "genocide" against the Palestinians in spite of the Israeli Defense Forces making efforts to limit civilian casualties even while Hamas fighters hide among the civilian population.

New York Times reporter Jennifer Medina was the latest reporter to cover the pro-Palestinian rump of Democrats turning against Biden in Michigan, on Tuesday’s front page: “Biden Is Losing Party Loyalists Over Gaza War.” While it’s interesting to see the Times feature prominent coverage of a movement that opposes Biden in an election year, Medina’s unquestioning acceptance of…

Between Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the “big three’ of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship AM news shows to hit President Biden from the left by touting the “raw anger” of Arab Democrat voters in Michigan “register[ing] their displeasure” by voting “uncommitted” and “sending a message” to President Biden “over his handling of the war in Gaza.” 

At long last, ABC World News Tonight weighs in on the “Uncommitted” vote in the Michigan Democratic primary, cast against President Biden over his handling of Israel’s war in Gaza. And, of course, the report was bathed in concern over the truest, purest victim of the war in Gaza: the electoral prospects of President Joe Biden.

In the aftermath of “from the river to the sea” anti-Israel protests on many college campuses and in the streets comes a perfectly timed book by Johns Hopkins University Professor Benjamin Ginsberg titled “The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, The Right, and the Jews.” Professor Ginsberg is especially hard on progressives and urges American Jews to move away from their longtime support of…

Last week, we reported on the evening news’ spotty reporting of the campaign to persuade Michigan Democrats to vote for “Uncommitted” in tomorrow’s primary, in protest of President Joe Biden’s response to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. A week later, and on the eve of the primary, ABC’s World News Tonight remains steadfast in their refusal to cover the protest vote.

On Friday's CNN NewsNight, host Abby Phillip gave a forum to far-left film maker Michael Moore to comment on the presidential race, leading him to accuse the Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza, preposterously alleging that the Palestinians are being killed because of the "color of their skin."

The Michigan primary portion of the Acela Media’s ongoing panic over the fraying of President Joe Biden’s coalition is drawing to a close. But ahead of the Tuesday primary, there was time for ABC to get one last Sunday installment into the record.

Saturday’s New York Times featured an absurd piece of anti-Israel, pro-ceasefire propaganda, “As Gaza Death Toll Mounts, Groups Urging Israel-Hamas Cease-Fire Are Outmatched,” by Kate Kelly. Kelly set up The Friends Committee, part of “Washington’s peace lobby,” as a plucky little underdog against AIPAC, much like the left tries to make Hamas sympathetic against big bad Israel, which…

When the far-left protests outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices, the media and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) think that's freedom of speech in action. But turn the target around to Biden's Secretary of State, and Politico on Friday found "Antony Blinken’s Family Is the Latest Target of Washington’s Ugliest Protest Trend."

The Verdict with Ted Cruz co-host Ben Ferguson exposed Big Tech’s plans for those who run afoul of the left’s narrative. And it goes beyond mere censorship.

On Valentine's Day a group of of queer individuals gathered in Washington, D.C., protesting for Palestinian liberation. The group criticized LGBTQ organizations and supporters for their silence on the purported genocide of queer Palestinians, and accused them of complacency over Israel's actions against Palestine. The protesters called for public condemnation of 'pinkwashing' and advocated for…
