Awkward: CBS Co-Host Tries to Equivocate on Anti-Semitism
Wednesday’s CBS Mornings and CBS Mornings Plus featured exclusive, heartbreaking interviews with the family of Sarah Miligrim, who was murdered by an alleged far-left anti-Semite last month outside the Capital Jewish Museum.

‘CBS Evening News’ Footnotes Boulder, Harps on Dubious Gaza Shootings
On Tuesday’s CBS Evening News, they projected a desire it was time to at least temporarily move on from Sunday’s Boulder, Colorado anti-Semitic terror attack by giving it a 27-second news brief.

Networks Downplay ‘Anti-Semitism,’ Basic Facts in Boulder Coverage
On Monday, the major broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC predictably used their flagship morning newscasts to lead with the anti-Semitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado on a gathering of Jews and supporters calling on Hamas to release the remaining hostages taken on October 7, 2023.

MSNBC Sees Red: Harvard Crackdown Dubbed ‘Apparatchik’

Maddow Ignores Anti-Semitism, Says Trump's Waging War On Universities
Liberals may view MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow as something of an intellectual, but her Monday show disproved that notion.

Colbert Tries To Defend PBS By Focusing On Children's Shows
CBS’s Stephen Colbert tried to have it both ways on Thursday’s taping of The Late Show. On one hand he mocked Republicans for wanting to defund PBS out of concerns its documentaries were sexualizing children because what child watches PBS?

Stewart on Columbia: Trump Doesn't 'Give a F*** About Free Speech'
Columbia University’s own task force investigating anti-Semitism issued a 90-page report chronicling how threats and harassment towards Jewish students have increased since October 7 and how the school failed to respond appropriately.

Chris Hayes Defends Hamas Putting Weapons Under Schools and Hospitals
Chris Hayes showed some of the lengths he would go to to tow MSNBC’s party line, on Tuesday, when he was so desperate to cover for Hamas that he defended the terror organization putting weapons under civilian centers, seemingly arguing Gaza was too small to put them anywhere else. In his interview that night on All In, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Hayes felt the…
