Amanpour Omits Key Details On Ceasefire Proposal As Iran Bombs Israel
Foreign policy reporting can be tricky. You have to explain what bad people think in an honest way without coming across like you endorse their position. Christiane Amanpour failed in this on Tuesday’s CNN News Central as she omitted key facts related to a recent ceasefire proposal that she claimed could have prevented Iran’s salvo of 180 ballistic missiles on Israel.
Stewart, Coates Compare Israel To Slave Traders
With only one week to go until the first anniversary of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart thought it would be a good idea to welcome far-left author Ta-Nehisi Coates to Monday’s taping of The Daily Show to promote his new book and compare the besieged nation to slave owners and traders.
CBS Host Blows Up Reporter's Whining About Israel Stomping Hezbollah
Since October 7, CBS foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab has flaunted his sympathies for the genocidal and anti-Semitic groups besieging Israel, as NewsBusters has documented.

AP Runs Offensive Obit for 'Charismatic and Shrewd' Hezbollah Leader
Before the official confirmation of the death of terrorist Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed by Israeli Defense Forces, Associated Press reporter Bassem Mroue filed "Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.” That headline holds more than a hint of the ridiculous Washington Post headline marking the assassination of another terrorist leader…

After 11 Months Of Rocket Fire, Stewart Asks 'What Did Lebanon Do?'
Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart is not a military or foreign policy genius, but he does play on TV.

NPR Media Reporter Connects Trump Laments to 'Pogroms' Against Jews

DUCK á la GRETCH: Whitmer Won’t Condemn Tlaib’s Anti-Semitic Remarks

Study Finds BBC 'Flunks Journalism 101,' Favoring Hamas Over Israel
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is considered the crown jewel of "public" broadcasting. All global journalism in English seeks to mimic it. That's not a good thing, since it is rife with leftist bias, and on the Israel-Hamas war, it can be difficult to distinguish from Al-Jazeera, according to a new study.
PBS Warmth for Hezbollah: Nasrallah ‘Famous For His Sense of Humor'
Amanpour & Co. covered Israel’s bravura anti-terrorist tactic of rerigging and then mass-detonating communication gear (pages and walkie-talkies) used by the Iran-based terrorist group Hezbollah, killing and maiming thousands of terrorists. Israel was acting in response to Hezbollah firing rockets from its base in Lebanon since Hamas carried out its invasion and civilian rape and…

NBC’s Melvin, John Brennan SLAM Israel for Operation Beep, Beep, Boom
Having been conveniently reinstalled on the NBC/MSNBC payroll in time for the 2024 presidential election stretch run, Deep State scion/former CIA Director John Brennan joined Thursday’s Today to tag-team with co-host Craig Melvin to smear Israel for their unacceptable “form of warfare” with its “fire and forget” exploding pagers and walkie talkie operations against Hezbollah in…
NABJ Skips Fact-Checks, Asks Harris How GOP 'Weaponized' Her Laughing
When Donald Trump sat down with the National Association of Black Journalists on July 31, the tone was combative and those interviewing him insisted on doing live fact-checking. On Tuesday, it was Kamala Harris’s turn for a much softer interview that saw the on-the-spot fact-checking go away despite multiple factually incorrect statements and be replaced with questions about how the GOP has "…
