HAMAS MEDIA: Nets Come Out Strong for Terror-Adjacent Student Agitator
The networks had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into coverage of the virulent antisemitic protests at major universities across the United States, beginning with those at Columbia University in New York. The protesters’ worst excesses were often left off of reporting, lest people get the idea that they were materially supportive both of Hamas and of the atrocities they committed on…
PBS Plays Dumb on Why Power-Mad Trump Is Punishing Columbia University
Bias by omission on the PBS weekly news roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the panel of journalists played dumb about why Trump would cancel federal grant money from Columbia University, describing it as a typical Trumpian power grab.

The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Free Speech Under Trump

What About Building That Gaza Riviera?
President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer the few million Palestinian Arabs in Gaza to other Arab countries and then rebuild and redevelop Gaza was met with some surprise and pushback. Isn’t this unfair? Doesn’t this violate the rights of Palestinians in Gaza? Usually, when we think about those who see a world with rights and without responsibilities, a world with claims but without…

NY Times Laments Focus on Murdered Bibas Kids Endangers the Ceasefire
Jerusalem Bureau Chief Patrick Kingsley displayed the crazed priorities at the New York Times in a Saturday front-page “news analysis” (editorial) on the Bibas children kidnapped and murdered by Hamas. Kingsley could only fret about what Israel’s (wholly justified) rage might do to harm the anti-Israel international community’s precious “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas,…
John Brennan: 'Absurd' To Say Fired Joint Chiefs Head Had Woke Agenda
On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former CIA Director and current MSNBC analyst John Brennan claimed it was "absurd" to suggest that President Trump fired C.J. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, because of his woke agenda. In fact, there is copious evidence of Brown having pushed a DEI agenda.
Sometimes, Moral Clarity Isn’t Difficult
This week, the world was reminded of the deep and abiding evil that has wormed its way to the center of Palestinian nationalistic culture by the news that the Bibas family – a mother, Shiri; a 4-year-old boy, Ariel; and his 9-month-old brother, Kfir – who had been kidnapped back to Gaza on Oct. 7 had in fact been murdered.

CNN Grants a Little Balance to Dan Senor On Trump's Gaza Message
On CNN This Morning, Dan Senor, an expert on Israeli affairs, says that the essence of Trump's statement on Gaza is that we must not do what has failed before -- rebuilding Gaza while permitting Hamas to remain involved. He does express unequivocal opposition to the notion of American boots on the ground in Gaza.
Leavitt RIPS Lefty Media Double Standard, Grilled by NBC & RCP on Gaza
On Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s third press briefing mostly centered around two wildly different issues of transgenderism and the future of the Gaza Strip (especially in light of President Trump’s Tuesday claim the U.S. would take it over). And, as she’s done, called on a wide swath of reporters from legacy liberal networks to our friends in conservative…
