One day after arguing with GOP Rep. Mike Lawler that American media did not rush to repeat Hamas propaganda in the manner of Baghdad Bob on the Gaza hospital explosions, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell joined Friday’s Chris Jansing Reports to claim that The Squad has “been very outspoken” on the issue of Gaza in the aftermath of that event. That’s a funny way of saying "lied."

According to CNN, Rula Jebreal is a “journalist and foreign policy analyst,” but as a Friday appearance on CNN This Morning proved, such analysis should not be taken too seriously as she compared Israel to Russia.

Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) appeared on Thursday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC where the eponymous host did not take kindly to the suggestion that the American media repeated Hamas propaganda on the hospital in Gaza. Lawler held his ground, informing Mitchell that CNN specifically behaved in a shameful manner worthy of “Baghdad Bob.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid demonstrated on Wednesday’s edition of The ReidOut that she doesn’t know the difference between intellectual laziness and nuance. Despite all the evidence pointing to a PIJ rocket, Reid claimed not just Hamas to be untrustworthy, but also the IDF and the United States because President Biden “fanned even more flames” by repeating the claim that Hamas beheaded babies…

On Wednesday afternoon, three different Israeli officials — including a former prime minister — took to CNN airwaves to lambaste the network and the rest of the liberal media for their instinctual rush to accept Hamas’s premise (under the guise of the “Palestinian Health Ministry”) that Israel had targeted a Gaza hospital Tuesday night for slaughter. In reality, it was a misfired rocket by…

On Wednesday afternoon’s CNN News Central, reporter Nada Bashir channeled her inner Omar Jimenez or Ali Velshi by denying reality as she declared the terrifying pro-Hamas riots outside the Israeli and U.S. embassies inspired the thoroughly debunked lie that Israel fired a missile targeting a Gaza hospital was “mostly peaceful.”

“Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” ( Psalm 83:4 ) The murderous attack on Israel has ripped away what remained of a thin veneer that has covered up growing antisemitism in America and some of the rest of the world. Until now it has only periodically raised its ugly head. The reaction by pro-Palestinian groups to Israel’s…

MSNBC national security analyst Jeremy Bash may be a former Democratic CIA official, but that did not stop him from ripping the media on Tuesday’s The 11th Hour for “breathlessly, word for word” repeating Hamas propaganda that the destruction of a Gaza hospital was caused by an Israeli airstrike.

The war between Hamas and Israel forces everyone to recognize an uncomfortable truth: Immigration is a foreign-policy issue. In Germany, as throngs of Hamas supporters took to the streets, Henry Kissinger told Welt TV, “It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that…

The Daily Show returned to Comedy Central on Monday and proceeded to blame seemingly everybody, but Hamas for the current war going on between it and Israel. Temp host Michael Kosta and Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer would blame everybody from Britain to the Arab states seeking normalization deals with Israel to Israel itself to the United States for the carnage, but Hamas itself…

On Monday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC continued the pivot started late last week from sympathizing with Israel in light of Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks to their usual position of supporting the terrorists and their Palestinian followers. This time, they fretted Israel has made Gaza such a hellscape that an “ice cream truck” has been “turned into a makeshift morgue” and mentally and that…

You can’t make this up. Michigan’s pro-Palestine Rep. Rashida Tlaib ostentatiously displays a Palestinian flag outside the door to her office. That gets media coverage. But a couple flags away (she has a few, presumably one being the Michigan state flag) she has, yes indeed, the rainbow LGBTQ flag. And the mainstream media? Silence.

AP fact-checker Philip Marcelo beclowned himself on Friday as he rated a claim that Hamas sympathizers chanted anti-Semitic remarks “false,” not because they didn’t—he admits that they did—but because the clip “is more than two years old.”

Former Bernie Sanders foreign policy advisor Matt Duss got more than he bargained for when he showed up at Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday as Maher slapped down his attempt to add “context” to Israel, Hamas, and Gaza.
