Washington Post Under Fire for ‘Scolding the Parents of a Hostage’

The Washington Post came under fire for an insensitive treatment of Ronen and Orna Neutra, the parents of an American hostage in Gaza who spoke at the Republican convention. It's bad enough that the Post's headline described Omer as "missing," not held hostage. But they came under fire for a tweet scolding the parents that they later deleted and admitted was "unacceptable."

God’s Hand on Donald J. Trump

An inch. One inch, and President Donald J. Trump would be dead. One slight turn of the head. One slight turn of the head saved Donald J. Trump’s life. The fact that Donald J. Trump is alive today is a miracle. There is no other way to see it. His assassin had a clear line of sight. He was 135 meters from Trump. He got off multiple rounds.
