Unfortunately, ABC’s Good Morning America saw no reason to cover these horrifying acts of violence that resulted in rescue planes being dispatched by Israeli Prime Minister…

While CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s colleague Tony Dokoupil was never explicitly mentioned, he loomed over Colbert’s Wednesday interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates as the duo discussed reaction to his anti-Israel book on The Late Show. Coates, for his part, was unrepentant as he defended the decision to leave out any mention of terrorism when discussing the current situation in the West Bank.…

If there was any media personality liable to say something mind-numbingly dumb after Israel killed Hamas leader and October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar on Friday, it was MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin, and lo and behold, he delivered on Alex Wagner Tonight.
