Israel/Palestine

ABC, CBS, and NBC popped the clutch Thursday morning and went full-speed in defending “progressive” Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul el-Sayed, brushing off the “blistering attack” by President Trump and the GOP as a distraction from “Americans’ concerns over the economy” and proof they’ve “seiz[ed] on” some of his policy views.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show might have the month off, but its The Weekly Show podcast is still pushing the far-left’s agenda. On Wednesday’s show, host Jon Stewart battled Democratic Sen. John Fetterman on a variety of issues where the latter has claimed the party is going too far left. On the issue of Israel specifically, Fetterman has threatened to leave the party if the DSA types take…

Abdul El-Sayed granted his first CNN interview since winning his contentious Michigan Senate Democrat primary to Kaitlan Collins. It was an unfortunate softball interview, with multiple wasted opportunities. Here are some moments from that interview.

On Wednesday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC had full stories gushing over far-left Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul el-Sayed’s slight victory over Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI), dubbing him a “progressive,” “self-described capitalist” who “ran on a populist platform” of “housing and education” with a side of ending U.S. “support for Israel.”

Morning Joe gave Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed a friendly platform Wednesday morning and failed to press him on the radical implications of two of his signature positions: Medicare for All, and his condemnation of Israel as an "illegal apartheid state" that is "bloodthirsty" and commits "genocide."

Beating out ABC and NBC, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings secured a live interview with Michigan Democratic senatorial nominee and “progressive” Abdul el-Sayed that, at nearly six minutes long, largely let the socialist filibuster on his campaign talking points with only one probing question and a brief follow-up about his demands the U.S. cease all foreign aid to Israel, but wasn’t framed as anti-…

Ahead of the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and the possibility a victory for far-left Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI), Tuesday’s CNN This Morning focused heavily on the issue of Israel in the campaign, a frequent topic used by El-Sayed. Instead of a large discussion over establishment struggles, host Audie Cornish said El-Sayed was “inevitable” after the “uncommitted” DNC electors saga in 2024.

Ahead of Tuesday’s Michigan Democratic Senate primary between Abdul El-Sayed and Representative Haley Stevens, MS NOW Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitali previewed the race on Monday’s Morning Joe and spent most of her report on Israel and AIPAC, used frequently in attacks on Stevens. 

PolitiFact threw the "False" flag at a minor GOP candidate for wrongly claiming the U.S. and Israeli militaries were merging. But they could have done the same for AOC, Ro Khanna, and Thomas Massie. Why single out the un-elected conspiracy theorist? 

Were there smiles? How long and warm were the handshakes? How was the body language? How did Trump’s voice sound? What White House door did the Israeli Prime Minister use to go in and see the President?

NewsBusters has filed plenty of complaints against the snarky, anti-Republican, twisted, Christian-hostile work of the New York Times reporter Liam Stack, but he managed a tough story on the hateful anti-Jewish rhetoric and actions of the left-wing’s new poster boy, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.  Stack’s Monday edition story went so far as to suggest a link between Mayor’s Mamdani’s…

Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS and CNN International, invited New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof on to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, and to blame it on Elon Musk. Is this Kristof’s first TV appearance since the summer’s controversy over his indecent hit piece from Israel? Kristof’s recent columns blame tragic situations in impoverished Third World countries on Elon…

Fortune magazine behaved like George Soros dumping more of his wealth than others into “philanthropy” was somehow some kind of an altruistic flex. No, we’re not kidding.

PBS News Hour’s special foreign correspondent Simona Foltyn filed another pro-Hezbollah report from Southern Lebanon, keyed to Lebanon’s president visiting the White House after a trilateral agreement between Israel, the United States, and Lebanon, meant to reduce the power of Hezbollah, the terrorist state within Lebanon. Foltyn wasn’t just recounting events but spinning her own foreign…
