Middle East

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.

Conventional wisdom says voters don’t care about foreign policy. Nearly two years into Europe’s largest conflict since World War II, the conventional wisdom seemed to be right. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had little effect on the race for the GOP presidential nomination and opened no room for a challenger to Joe Biden among the Democrats. But the butchery Hamas perpetrated against Israeli…

Wednesday’s CBS Evening News featured an abhorrent segment trying to put anti-Semitism and Islamophobia on the same plane as equally disturbing and prevalent after Hamas’s October 7 mass terror attacks on innocents in Israel that left over 1,400 dead and over 200 taken hostage. After years of arguing and implying there isn’t two sides in politics to smear the GOP, the liberal media…

NPR’s Michel Martin guest hosted PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Wednesday and described her guest, Tareq Baconi, as a Hamas historian which she was careful to distinguish from a “Hamas apologist.” However, Baconi is a Hamas apologist, as he absurdly described Israel as “fascist” while, even more absurdly, saying Hamas is no longer anti-Semitic.

If this is starting to feel like Groundhog Day, we don’t blame you. On Wednesday morning and evening, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship news shows to continue their nauseating roles as the world’s morality police by sympathizing with Hamas terrorists and their citizens being hit by daily barrages of Israel airstrikes after they murdered over 1,400 innocents in…

During a rare Biden White House press conference with a foreign leader (this time, it was Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese), the two pre-selected American reporters — USA Today’s Joey Garrison and PBS’s Laura Barrón-López — promoted leftist narratives, whether it’s attacking Republicans as responsible for America to hemorrhage its global standing, suggesting the GOP would…

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell sat down with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on her Wednesday show where she engaged in both side-ism, suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is just as much an obstacle to peace as Hamas.

Towards the back-end of Tuesday’s White House press briefing, the Fox Business Network’s Edward Lawrence got under the skin of the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by asking whether President Biden’s energy policies are helping to expand Iran’s oil coffers and thus leaving them with more money to fund terror groups like Hamas.

The weeks-long Hamas propaganda campaign on the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC dragged on Tuesday with a slew of misfires (pun intended) that included, along with two of the three failing to mention new U.S. findings about that October 17 hospital fire, the touting of dubious Gaza death tolls (despite admitting they emanate from Hamas), cheering the U.N. trashing Israel, and par-for-the-…

On Tuesday night, the U.S. intelligence community doubled down on its initial findings that an errant rocket from an Islamic group inside Gaza was what landed in the vicinity of a Gazan hospital on October 17 as well as the fact that the death toll was far lower than what Hamas claimed. Unsurprisingly, it received scant attention on the network evening newscasts as the CBS Evening News…
