On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, while right-leaning contributor Jonah Goldberg was complaining about the anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas rhetoric used by some protesters on college campuses, New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro got snippy as she jumped in to cut him off and argue against the use of police against left-wing protesters harassing Jewish students.
ABC Tries to Brush Aside Evidence of Antisemitism at Columbia U
While NBC was busy trying to discredit Jewish students who were victims of anti-Semitic attacks and threats caught on camera at Columbia University, ABC’s Good Morning America thought they could get by without admitting there was antisemitism coming from the pro-Hamas crowd. Instead, correspondent Stephanie Ramos simply said Jewish students “don’t feel safe” with no explanation as to…
Foreign Policy Splits the Parties
In 2024, foreign policy doesn’t pit Republicans against Democrats so much as it pits Republicans against Republicans and Democrats against Democrats. For Joe Biden’s party, Israel is the fault line, with Democrats split between supporters of the Jewish State and those of Palestinian sympathies. For the party of Donald Trump, the internal conflict is over Ukraine, and the bitterness of the…
NBC Tries to Discredit Victims of Antisemitism at Columbia University
In recent days, the pro-Hamas gatherings at university campuses across the country have grown more violent and more brazen with their anti-Semitic rhetoric; causing Jewish students to feel unsafe and universities to advise them to stay away as they shift to virtual learning.

The Empires Begin to Strike Back
With all that is occurring in our political and cultural life, there are signs some Americans have had enough.

The reason given by the company’s vice president for global security, Chris Rackow, as reported in The Wall Street Journal…
Reid Claims Columbia Hamas Protests Are 'Singing About Peace'
MSNBC’s Joy Reid pulled out the head in the sand strategy for Monday’s edition of The ReidOut when discussing anti-Semitism being prevalent at Columbia University. During an interview with Rev. Mark Thompson and Maryam Alwan of Columbia’s chapter of Students for Justine in Palestine, Reid claimed she simply “didn’t hear it.”
ABC World News Tonight SUPPRESSED Biden’s ‘Very Fine People’ Moment

Only one, ABC, omitted President Joe Biden’s statements granting moral equivalency both to the antisemitic protesters and to those who oppose them- his own “very fine people” moment.
NYT Ignores Soros-Funded Group Pushing Biden to Sanction IDF Unit
Yet another Soros-funded group just got caught trying to drive a wedge into the American-Israeli alliance, but The New York Times didn’t find any space to mention it in a news report.
CBS’s King Downplays Pro-Hamas Columbia as ‘Apparently Anti-Semitic’
CBS broke the ice Monday (after a footnote last week) on the rampant anti-Semitism and terrorist sympathizing at Columbia University by pro-Hamas elements of the student body and like-minded fiends, but they went full-blown ‘fiery but mostly peaceful’ as CBS Mornings co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King fretted the “apparently anti-Semitic incidents” overshadowed “peaceful protests…
Doocy SLAMS KJP Over Biden’s Latest Lie About Uncle Being Cannibalized
In case you missed it from Friday, Fox’s Peter Doocy clashed with the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre during the White House press briefing when Doocy called out the President for falsely claiming his uncle not only died during World War II, but was cannibalized in Papua New Guinea by blood-thirsty natives. Jean-Pierre ducked, attacking Doocy and invoking the dubious “suckers” and “losers” tall…
CBS Weekend News OMITS Latest Violent Campus Antisemitism

PBS Pundit Pals Hail Speaker Johnson Finding 'Inner Reagan' on Ukraine
The latest, foreign-policy-facing episode of Washington Week with The Atlantic found the weekly journalistic roundtable quite comfortable with both American hard and soft power -- as long as President Biden and the Democrats hold the reins. There was a scattering of hostile labeling, with three “far right” labels foisted on Republicans, but what was most striking was the panel’s…
PBS Mourns 'Far-Right' Influence on GOP While Encouraging Far-Left
It was a foreign policy-heavy edition of PBS NewsHour’s weekly Friday news recap segment with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart. Together with host William Brangham, the duo would claim that the “far-right” threatens to throw the GOP into chaos for its opposition to Ukraine aid, but not only did the far-left…
