Middle East

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell sat down for an interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken that aired on her Wednesday show and featured nothing but questions and statements from Blinken’s left on everything from imploring him to end the war before Hamas’s defeat to accusing Israel of targeting journalists’ families.

The BBC has a long and inglorious history of having to apologize for anti-Israel reporting and Tuesday was just the latest installment.

Last week featured only two White House press briefings (Wednesday and Thursday), but it brought about more of the same as the National Security Council’s John Kirby helmed much of both installments when taking questions about foreign policy and the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre began 2024 with nothing but venom for Biden’s opponents on domestic issues.

With migrants now flooding our Southwestern border at a reported 10,000 seeking entry daily, it is essential that we take steps to crystalize a national immigration policy. Republicans insist that the $74 billion in funds that the Biden administration is asking in aid for Ukraine and Israel be part of a larger package that deals with border security and comprehensive immigration policy.…

CNN held two presidential town halls on Thursday in Iowa, one with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and another with former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and while most of the questions were good or unobjectionable as they came from actual Republican voters. However, when CNN deviated from that formula things went sideways as DeSantis was asked how many people he was willing to kill to…

CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour may claim to be truthful and not neutral, but when Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib joined her on her Wednesday show to blame Israel for the twin bombings in Iran that killed 84 people at the tomb of Qasem Soleimani, Amanpour simply noted that was “your opinion,” but since the program aired, ISIS has taken credit for the attacks, which was always…

CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip tried without success on Tuesday to get Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz to agree with Sen. Bernie Sanders that the time has come to cut aid to Israel. Later in the show she also failed to get Manhattan Institute podcaster Coleman Hughes to agree that now former Harvard President Claudine Gay is a victim of racism or, at the very least, partisan politics…

After taking trips down memory lane on Tuesday and Thursday with the six most pro-Hamas moments and grillings from the left, respectively, we’re going to open 2024 with the 12 best moments – battles, beatdowns, and hardballs – from 2023, the first full year of the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre’s term at the podium.

As the ground war in Gaza rages on, so, too, does the propaganda war. And at the heart of the propaganda war are Western media who insist on toeing the Hamas line.

For decades, the liberal media have always had a soft spot for Hamas. Heck, even the Associated Press’s Gaza bureau shared a Gaza City high-rise with the barbaric Islamists. In the days following Hamas’s animalistic reign of terror on October 7, some in the White House press corps pestered National Security Council’s John Kirby during briefings with Hamas talking points. Check out the full…

Friday’s season finale of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher condemned two media bubbles. First, the New York Times’s progressive bubble after former editor James Bennet penned a lengthy essay in The Economist recounting the 2020 Tom Cotton op-ed and second, the media’s bubble that seeks to blame Israel for the lack of Israeli-Palestinian peace.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi is the kind of media personality who thinks his job is to combat fake news and disinformation and has no problem getting into fiery exchanges with guests if he thinks they are engaged in peddling such narratives. However, on his Saturday show when Velshi welcomed former Palestinian Minister of Higher Education and Research Hanan Ashrawi who accused the United States of…

Wednesday’s White House press briefing took a dark turn when an Arab reporter lashed out at Israel as “a terrorist state” inflicting “collective punishment” on Gazans and “killing...civilians” and “journalists” just moments after a reporter from the Saudi-funded Alarabiya asked whether the U.S. finds it “acceptable” and “positive” that “the ratio of killing Hamas fighters is equivalent to two…

MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera tried to shame Israeli President Isaac Herzog on her Tuesday show by asking if it was “acceptable to you” that an IDF spokesperson told CNN that it estimates that the civilian-to-combatant death ratio in Gaza is 2:1. Despite all the emotional manipulation surrounding this topic from the media, Cabrera took it a step further by ignoring an urban warfare expert she had on…
