NY Times Whitewashes Violent LA Synagogue Attack by Pro-Hamas Thugs
News of the recent violent protest outside a Jewish synagogue in Los Angeles got a standard pro-Palestinian New York Times whitewash from reporters Jill Cowan and Jonathan Wolfe.

A Warning to Not Hype Layoffs in News and a Call to Back Local Press
Bad news for the media often feels like good news for conservatives. So word that Vice and BuzzFeed are laying off hundreds of journalists, weeks after the complete collapse of The Messenger, won’t elicit much sympathy from the right.

Time to Embarrass the Lefty Media for Backing Hamas on Hospital Strike
Unsurprisingly the liberal media rushed Tuesday to accept the claims of the Palestinian Health Ministry that Israel had fired a missile at a Gaza hospital that Palestinians insisted had killed hundreds. Of course, that wasn’t true as Israeli and U.S. intelligence and amateur video showed it was a misfired Islamic Jihad or Hamas rocket. The cast of characters read like a who’s who in the…
UPDATE: LA Times Reporter Falesly Claims Hamas Never Beheaded Babies
On Tuesday, a disturbing trend of misinformation spread around social media asserting that the Hamas terrorists – the same ones who killed women, children, and the elderly, raped women, and abducted those same groups back to Gaza – for some reason wouldn’t behead babies and that any report of such acts were lies.
