CNN senior international correspondent Ivan Watson joined Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday’s CNN News Central to discuss the latest news surrounding the Israel-Hamas War when he spread fake news about Palestinian casualty estimates and used the same “slaughter” verb to describe October 7 and Israel’s response to it.

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler has found a topic on which to consistently shame President Joe Biden: being too much against Hamas. Earlier, Kessler condemned Biden for not trusting Hamas’s casualty reports despite admitting combatant deaths are lumped in with non-combatants and on Wednesday, Kessler added the claim that Hamas beheaded Israeli babies.

MSNBC’s “very high standard” on facts is not as high it may claim as it welcomed so-called human rights attorney and Professor Noura Erakat accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Additionally, Erakat pretended to be a military expert as she claimed Israel hasn’t achieved anything, ignored evidence of terrorist activity at Gaza Hospitals, displayed a shocking bit of hypocrisy, called…

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is an interesting guy. He is a former IDF chief of staff who, as PM, was prepared to hand Yasser Arafat 97 percent of the West Bank in 2000 only to get the Second Intifada and for his Labor Party to never to hold power again. On Monday’s PBS Amanpour and Company, he fought with the eponymous host on the supposed lack of evidence the IDF has…

On Sunday, Israel released surveillance footage from Al-Shifa Hospital of Hamas dragging hostages into the facility against their will. It also gave CNN’s Oren Liebermann an opportunity to visit the newly discovered tunnels it found on campus, but Liebermann still claimed on Monday’s CNN This Morning that Israel has not met the burden of proof to justify its claims and continued to…

The Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC is where all critical thinking and common sense goes to die as evidenced by a Sunday segment where Hasan accused Israel of shifting the goalposts on its narrative of where Hamas’s HQ is because he refused to entertain the simple idea that Hamas’s leadership could’ve fled south in the early days of the fighting.

On the Saturday edition of NBC’s Today reporter Erin McLaughlin ran down the list of evidence Israel has provided that Hamas has used the Al-Shifa Hospital for military purposes only to dismisses it as “nothing definitive.” Meanwhile, on CBS Saturday Morning, Imtiaz Tyab did the same thing, labeling the provided as evidence as “frankly underwhelming.”

New York Times columnist and PBS NewsHour Friday weekly news recapper David Brooks claimed he isn't sure progressives know what they are talking about when they chant “from the river to the sea.” Whether Brooks actually has no idea or is playing dumb doesn’t really matter, PBS viewers deserve a better conservative perspective.

PBS NewsHour anchor Amna Nawaz joined the Friday edition of Jose Diaz-Balart Reports on MSNBC where she misrepresented PBS’s own polling data in order to portray Israel’s war against Hamas as much more polarizing than it actually is.

Exactly one day after being rebuked by Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz for repeating Hamas propaganda, Nada Bashir returned to CNN News Central on Thursday to hype the ludicrous idea that certain “experts” are entertaining that Israel is committing genocide because for CNN being truthful and not neutral has its limits.

On Wednesday, the globally influential BBC was forced to apologize yet again for an anti-Israel smear from one of its anchors. This time, the BBC accused Israel of intentionally targeting Al-Shifa Hospital staff and Arab speakers during its operations in Gaza, which was exactly the opposite of what the cited Reuters report said.

Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz joined the Wednesday edition of CNN News Central and condemned the network for repeating Hamas propaganda on the Al-Shifa Hospital when it cited Hamas saying there is no command center at the facility.

The Big Three news networks (ABC, NBC and CBS) have turned a blind eye to leftist groups funneling millions of dollars to anti-Israel advocacy groups.

For Sunday’s edition of Last Week Tonight, HBO’s John Oliver attempted to give what he would consider a nuanced take on the Israel-Hamas War and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict more generally. However, it was hard to take such nuance seriously when he accused the United States of being “heavily implicated” in non-existent Israeli war crimes.
