The Washington Post likes to say “democracy dies in darkness,” but after a Monday article written by Steve Hendrix and Lorenzo Tugnoli they may want to update their slogan to "democracy dies in terrorism" or “terrorism lives in the World section.”

This week, according to sources ranging from the Biden White House to Moody’s to The New York Times’s Thomas Friedman, Israel entered into a period of severe existential danger. What prompted this crisis? Not a potential Iranian nuclear attack, not the presence of violent terrorist groups embedded in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. According to our foreign policy elite, the breaking point…

On Morning Joe, Jennifer Palmieri, who served as White House communications director for Obama and campaign communications director for Hillary Clinton, praised Morning Joe as "part of the fact-based community in America." 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday to push back against the “silly” criticisms of his plans to reform his country’s Supreme Court by calmly giving host George Stephanopoulos a basic civics lesson in separation of powers. Not a fan of the “silly” description, Stephanopoulos responded by wondering why Netanyahu doesn’t just listen to…

On Wednesday after the shocking collapse of Hunter Biden’s plea deal, there were a few White House reporters who grilled Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in her abbreviated turn at the podium (due to her use of John Kirby as her crutch for nearly 35 of the almost 58-minute briefing) on the events in Delaware as well as ongoing questions about Biden family corruption.

On Tuesday, Morning Joe ran segments attacking Israel over and new law democratically passed by the democratically elected Israeli Knesset parliament that would limit the Israeli Supreme Court’s power to strike down laws.

Kennedy Jr.’s testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee. Jennings politely reminded Michaelson that “It's platformed…

On Tuesday afternoon, the White House press briefing with the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had it all with some tense exchanges (Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich over anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party), softballs (the AP and USA Today on alleged treatment of illegal immigrants), and the delusional (a far-left blogger asking about potential violence from Trump supporters).…

CNN This Morning host Phil Mattingly had Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) on Tuesday morning’s program to discuss several different issues, notably the recent anti-Semitic statements from Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). Together they lamented Republicans calling out Democrats and tried to tie the anti-Semitic comments from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to House Republicans despite…

Tuesday’s CBS Mornings ended the broadcast network-wide blackout on their flagship newscasts of far-left Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) smearing Israel as “a racist state,” but made sure to take her side in blasting Israel as an “extreme,” “hard-lined, nationalist,” and “right-wing” government refusing to listen to the Biden administration.

Monday’s CNN This Morning featured several segments where the anchors, Phil Mattingly and Abby Phillip, had in-depth discussions on Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA and the blowback to her recent condemnation of Israel as a “racist state.” Along with several guests, both anchors expressed their annoyance that Jayapal had perpetuated a long-standing “internal battle that Democrats have had”…

On Saturday morning, MSNBC host Ali Velshi used his eponymous show to promote the left-wing group Breaking the Silence, which is known for trying to undermine the Israeli military's actions.

On Morning Joe, liberal columnist Peter Beinart approvingly cites sources calling Israel an "apartheid state." Beinart calls on the US to pressure Israel by threatening to withhold funding, and ceasing to protect it from condemnation at the UN and prosecution at the International Criminal Court.

BBC anchor Anjana Gadgil nuked her Twitter account after a Tuesday interview with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett where she accused the Israeli military of being “happy to kill children” as it conducted anti-terrorism operations in Jenin.
