Israel/Palestine

On Monday, word spread like wildfire that the alleged shooter of the Houston megachurch belonging to Joel Olsteen was a pro-Palestinian terrorist who had the message “Free Palestine” written on the rifle. It was also discovered that the shooter was transgendered. For hours, far-left MSNBC refused to update their on-air reporting to inform viewers of the likely motive behind the attack. But…

Over the weekend, the Israeli Defense Forces proved that they could get October 7 hostages back from Hamas without the need to give them anything except warheads on foreheads. But during Monday’s Today show, NBC didn’t seem too impressed by the daring raid that rescued two hostages from the city of Rafah. Instead, they used it as an opportunity to hype anonymous sources who claimed…

This past week, there was a stark contrast between CNN and Fox morning shows in their coverage of hate crimes allegedly inspired by the Israel-Hamas war as CNN used the stabbing of a Palestinian American man in Austin to push for a ceasefire while Fox highlighted a Palestinian illegal alien who beat a Jewish homeowner in New York.

Some 1,000 Black pastors nationwide are reported to have weighed-in to pressure President Joe Biden to force a ceasefire in the war in Gaza. According to one pastor, the war “has evoked the kind of deep-seated angst among Black people that I have not seen since the civil rights movement.” And per another, regarding the Palestinians, “we see them as a part of us ... They are oppressed people.…

There were still more than 10 months to go, but John Avlon had the early lead in the race for The Year's Most Inapt Analogy. Predictably, on Wednesday, CNN This Morning raked the House Republicans over the coals for their failure to get the necessary votes to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, or pass a stand-alone Israel aid bill

For Thursday’s installment of CBS Mornings, foreign correspondent Debora Patta mourned that Israel has rejected a Hamas proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release, but never explained why which is important because such a proposal would lead to Israel having to accept defeat.

With it having been six days since the last White House press briefing, there was litany of topics Tuesday for the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre and, needless to say, she dealt with them using her trademark dodges and inability to grasp the English language. Unsurprisingly, Fox’s Peter Doocy, Fox Business’s Edward Lawrence and New York Post’s Steven Nelson challenged Jean-Pierre while others…

One picture worth a thousand words is a graph on the U.S. Department of Defense website showing U.S. annual Defense spending as a percentage of GDP, going back to 1953. Two things jump out. First, the lowest over the 70-year period was in 1999, at the end of the Clinton administration, when it stood at 2.7%. This is a little more than half the previous low, which stood at 4.5% 20 years earlier…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Seth Meyers used the respective Monday editions of The Late Show and Late Night to roll out the red carpet for two of the most left-wing members of the Senate in Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. The two hosts lobbed mostly softballs and let their guests go on unchallenged monologues as they discussed their favorite pet issues.

Journalist Christiane Amanpour’s eponymous international affairs show (airing on PBS and CNN International) is obsessed with getting Israel to back down from its war on the terrorist group Hamas and make potentially dangerous concessions to Hamas-run Gaza Strip. Thursday’s Amanpour & Co., devoted almost entirely to anti-Israel points, featured not one but two guests in a row who…

Union workers appear to join Arab-Americans incensed over the Biden Administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza as part of the coalition of Michiganders abandoning President Joe Biden. At least, this is what NBC News is conveying to viewers in its latest installment of an ongoing series which at this point should be reported to the FEC by the Biden campaign as an in-kind GOTV…

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS, NBC evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows coverage of just the Hamas terrorists holding Americans captive and found the networks spent a total of 18 minutes, 6 seconds on the crisis. Of those 18 minutes, only 28 seconds of criticism of Biden or his administration was aired.

As fate would have it, it fell upon one of CBS’s most ardent anti-Israel reporters, correspondent Debora Patta, to report on the news of countries pulling funding from UNRWA due to employee involvement in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th attack against Israel. Needless to say, the report went exactly as you’d expect.

The PBS current affairs program Amanpour & Co. on Thursday hosted the invariably self-assured long-time New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who unleashed some harsh criticism of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But then things took a surprising and welcome turn, as Friedman criticized journalists’ double standards in its war coverage. What about…
