This week on NBC’s Today, they went through quite the transformation from caring about anti-Semitism on college campuses (with only passing, almost faux attempts at bothsidesism with Islamophobia) to Thursday creeping toward bothsidesism to Friday pouting with pro-Hamas students being identified in public as terrorist sympathizers.

Thursday’s White House press briefing devolved into the liberal press corps consistently showing concern for Hamas terrorists and their citizens in Gaza and increasing scorn for Israel’s right to take out Hamas for their October 7 terror attacks. In contrast, Fox’s Peter Doocy grilled the National Security Council’s John Kirby over the Biden administration’s praise for Qatar despite its…

It’s been called the population weapon, and it’s an effective way to blackmail Europe. The late Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi used it. So has Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. And now the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is threatening to do so, if the West continues to call for Egypt to accept refugees from Gaza.

PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez joined CNN’s Inside Politics panel on Wednesday to discuss how progressives are reacting to the Israeli-Hamas War and to suggest that Democrats who refused to condemn terrorism did so, not because they hate Israel, but because they are simply critics of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler decided to detour from going after Republicans on Wednesday to condemn something President Biden said recently. Unfortunately, it was on the subject of Biden doubting Hamas’s casualty reports, labeling such…

CBS, like most of the rest of the media, initially uncritically repeated Hamas claims that Israel bombed a Gaza hospital that turned out to be false. Nevertheless, chief political analyst John Dickerson defended the network’s coverage on Tuesday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, using the hospital as an example of why careful reporting is necessary.

Wolf Blitzer tried to shame Israel on Tuesday’s CNN News Central for a strike that took out a top Hamas commander because he was hiding at a refugee camp. Thankfully, retired Major General Dana Pittard would eventually remind him that any civilian casualties that resulted from the strike would be Hamas’s fault.

Having already made himself infamous for his pathetic defense of the mentally and physically-impaired Democrat John Fetterman during the latter’s 2022 senatorial campaign, NBCNews.com tech editor Ben Goggin has spent the days and weeks since Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel shilling for the radical Islamists, taking them at their word. This is be no means a complete list, but it…

As Israel expands operations against Hamas, it has cut Gaza’s internet and phone communications which led ABC Good Morning America Saturday host Janai Norman to raise the idea of “potential war crimes,” a suggestion that was politely and subtly batted down by military contributor and former commander of U.S. forces in South Korea, retired Gen. Robert Abrams.

The P in PBS doesn't really stand for "Public." The PBS NewsHour hates the Republican half of the public, and finds it easy to put on guests that compare today's Trump Republicans with Hitler and the mass-murdering Nazis. And yet they support using body counts from Hamas....

On Wednesday afternoon, President Biden didn’t mince words in following the lead from John Kirby of his own of the National Security Council in telling reporters that he has “no confidence in the number[s]” from Hamas and that they’re not “telling the truth.” But despite these marching orders, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, NBC have still been taking the death tallies from Hamas’s so-…

Thursday’s White House press briefing marked an embarrassing display of the liberal media not only bothsidesing the Israel-Hamas war, but defending the terrorist group Hamas as credible when it comes to death counts coming out of Gaza. Thankfully, even longtime Democratic administration official and National Security Council flack John Kirby spoke for most viewers in smacking down this idiocy…

While not to be confused with anything more than a longtime Democratic regime official, Biden National Security Council official John Kirby showed surprising backbone all sides can applaud in Thursday’s White House press briefing when provided refreshing moral clarity upon being dealt a snarky question from the left by Raquel Krӓhenbühl of the Brazilian network TV Globo on whether he should…

The easiest moral place to stand is in the middle. Standing in the middle is comforting. It grants you the illusion that you are being evenhanded, that you see nuance and complexity where others see black and white. It is flattering to be in the middle -- no one hates your viewpoint enough to make you their opponent, and yet you get to stand apart from everyone, tut-tutting both sides.
