Double Standards

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough twice mockingly speaks of Donald Trump's "fat white boy" spokesman, and claims that Trump has gone "full-on Hitler."

One way to demonstrate the slant in PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war is to compare and contrast how their interviewers treat representatives of the respective sides. On Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour, reporter Leila Molana-Allen conducted a friendly interview with Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, which represents the West Bank, and who…

The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC unsurprisingly failed this week to convey even the most basic facts about what they’ve insisted were “thousands of pro-Palestinian” marchers “ma[king] their voices heard” this past weekend — including in Washington D.C. — when the more adept description would be pro-Hamas rallies calling for Israel’s eradication and support for Hamas’s October 7…

On October 7, the Jewish people suffered their greatest single-day loss of life since the Holocaust in a horrific massacre that should cause people to think twice before comparing someone or something to Hitler, the Nazis, or their crimes. Unfortunately, the news media only seem to apply that standard to one side.

CBS’s Sunday political talk show Face the Nation spent its most recent episode lashing out against Israel and rallying around the Palestinians and their beloved Hamas terrorist group who rule over them in Gaza. From the very beginning, host Margaret Brennan and correspondent Imtiaz Tyab touted claims that Israel has been engaged in “apartheid” war crimes” against poor Gazans and the…

Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC slowly backed away from blindly touting the false claims from the Palestinian Health Ministry (read: Hamas) that Israel was behind a rocket attack on a Gaza hospital (often labeled a deadly “blast” or “explosion), if only because their President in Joe Biden said so.

Morning Joe criticizes US news outlets that accepted Hamas's accusation that Israel was responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital.  But the show fails to mention Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who continues to accuse Israel even after Hamas's lie has been debunked.

The French have an expression: when you want to determine who committed a crime, answer the question: A qui profite le crime?—Who profits from the crime? In the case of the explosion at a Gaza hospital, Hamas reaped a major PR profit. And MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace and correspondent Raf Sanchez did their part to help out during Tuesday evening's Deadline: White House.

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…

Joe Scarborough accuses Republicans of endangering national security by not coalescing to elect a Speaker, but ignores that Democrats could help elect a Speaker immediately if they cast enough votes for a Republican.

MSNBC's Ali Velshi calls Israel's proposed total siege of Gaza, in response to the Hamas attack, a "war crime." He couldn't find those words for Hamas.

Ya gotta love the sheer self-unawareness at The New York Times. In the wake of the GOP rebellion in the House that cost GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy his job, The Times headlined this:

During Wednesday’s edition of The View, the cackling coven cheered a New York judge for putting a limited gag order on former President Trump after he lashed out at a law clerk on social media; claiming she was having an affair with Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). According to moderator Whoopi Goldberg, the criticism was somehow a threat on her life. Meanwhile, The View had…

The front page of Monday’s New York Times marked the return of the U.S. Supreme Court to the bench with the scary-sounding headline “How Far to the Right Will the Supreme Court Go?” Supreme Court beat reporter Adam Liptak and Abbie VanSickle shared the liberal obsession with the potential extremism of the Supreme Court, now dominated by Republican presidential appointees. (The paper…
