President Joe Biden managed to clear the lowest of low bars this week by not joining in with the radical left’s attempts to defend or add “context” to Hamas’s savage attack on Israel, but still, this led New York Times columnist David Brooks to hail the idea that “this was one of Joe Biden's best weeks as president” on Friday’s PBS NewsHour.

The Friday morning flagship news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC continued the all-too-predictable pivot away from Israel after Saturday’s Hamas terror attacks and toward Hamas and the Palestinians. On ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings, they ripped Israel for their “biblical” demand people flee northern Gaza ahead of a likely ground invasion that, along with a “toxic mix…

CNN reporter Nada Bashir has put in Israel in a damned if they do, damned if they don’t situation. One hand, Israel is lectured on the need to avoid civilian casualties as if they would otherwise enjoy bombing Palestinians for sport, but on the other hand, she lectures them on Friday’s CNN Newsroom that urging Palestinians to evacuate Northern Gaza is “a war crime.”

On Friday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC engaged in acts of cowardice by vaguely tip-toeing through security concerns for Jewish community centers, schools, and synagogues due to what a former Hamas head demanded as a day of jihad and the rampant nature of open anti-Semitism and pro-slaughter of Jews on college campuses.

Former Al Jazeera producer turned Snopes fact-checker Nur Ibrahim warned on Thursday that discussions of Hamas beheading Israeli babies should be taken with a grain of salt and that “people should be wary of claims that echo Islamophobic rhetoric.”

On Thursday, CNN had a number of horribly pro-Hamas moments from both correspondents and guests, including an insane insinuation that Israel was to blame for Gazans not having bomb shelters and attempts to equivocate the work of a terrorist organization in Hamas with Israeli air strikes.

I am a Jew. Those have been the words of the Jewish people for three millennia. Those were the words of the men, women and children of Masada. Those were the words of the followers of Bar Kochba. Those were the words of Jews in Granada in 1066 and the Rhineland in 1096 and Khmelnytsky from 1648-1657 and Kishinev in 1903, in Hebron in 1929. Those were the words of Jews in Auschwitz and…

Professor, activist, and so-called human rights attorney Noura Erakat was welcomed to Katy Tur Reports on Thursday afternoon to accuse the Israelis of war crimes, lament the nation’s existence, “the siege of 16 years” as if just randomly happened, and anti-BDS laws because MSNBC suddenly finds the urge to go all in on both-sideism.

To the shock of absolutely no one who’s paid attention to liberal media bias for even a few years, the liberal media started to make their pivot Thursday morning against Israel following Saturday’s mass terror and slaughter by Hamas terrorists and toward sympathizing with Palestinians as Israeli forces begin carrying out a heavy response. So, bring on the sob stories and false equivalencies!…

The tail end of Wednesday’s White House press briefing was marked by a contentious moment when the White House’s ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to call on the New York Post’s Steven Nelson despite having skipped over him for nearly five months and his paper since July 7.

A longtime foreign correspondent with BBC prior to joining ABC, chief foreign correspondent Ian Pannell sought to peddle pro-Palestinian/pro-Hamas propaganda on Wednesday’s Good Morning America as he sought to elicit sympathy for the side of terrorists and warn Israel of there being “a real danger” of forcefully responding to Saturday’s Hamas terror attacks. And what would that be?…

If the fact-checking industry is going to insist that it should be able to throttle social media posts, at the very least, it should fact-check the claims the post is actually making and not straw men because Instagram posts have been deemed misinformation after PolitiFact and the USA Today accused the posters of attributing a 2020 “Death to America” chant in the Iranian parliament to…

Tuesday’s White House press briefing was largely clear-eyed about the horrors caused Friday by Hamas terrorists in Israel with over a dozen Americans dead and nearly two dozen unaccounted for. There were some tough questions from usual corners, but also some predictably pro-Hamas questions standing up for the plight of modern-day Nazis.

MSNBC’s Katy Tur and Senior Fellow of American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Arthur David Miller got their priorities backwards as they wondered on Tuesday how a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians can happen “with the current makeup of the Israeli government.”
