The U.S. media is predictably spreading government propaganda and ignoring Israel’s role as it cheers on the war against Iran and pushes for regime change.
Jake Tapper and other mainstream U.S. media figures will wax poetic about free speech, but they ignore when advocates for Palestine are targeted, or even jailed, for speaking out.
The latest dishonesty from CNN’s Biased Duo, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, about Rashida Tlaib prompted an intense critical reaction. The solution? CNN should ban them from reporting on Palestine.
Jake Tapper, the prominent CNN journalist, lied yesterday on X. Pro-Palestinian protesters had confronted his…
Smearing the protesters of the Gaza genocide: Dana Bash on CNN says it’s OK to criticize Netanyahu, but not the Jewish state, then says these protests “hearken back to the 1930s” and Jews across the U.S. feel unsafe. While her colleague Jake Tapper says that Jewish students are unsafe at Columbia and Tulane; and on the PBS News Hour, David Brooks says that the Columbia University protests against Israel “are hate-filled and bigoted.”
Why is the U.S. mainstream hiding Netanyahu’s provocative statement, that Israel will permanently occupy everything “from the river to the sea?”
CNN’s Jake Tapper failed to adhere to professional and ethical journalism standards in a story claiming to offer proof of sexual violence by Palestinian fighters on October 7.
The mainstream media have largely adopted a pro-war narrative: the U.S. should have stayed longer, Biden’s withdrawal is precipitous, the president has failed to secure all the good things that America brought to the people of Afghanistan/Kabul. Biden has gotten surprising support from the left, which has long opposed the Afghanistan occupation, and from some independent voices who have said that the 20-year war was catastrophic and violent and the chaotic scenes at the airport are merely the last chapter in a misbegotten policy.
Bari Weiss’s exit from The New York Times is good news for Palestinian news and opinion. Weiss has made a career as a Zionist warrior, often smearing anti-Zionists in ways that she is quick to call McCarthyism when others employ the same methods.
Bari Weiss has been everywhere lately promoting her book that says that anti-Zionism is dangerous anti-Semitism, and oh by the way, white nationalism is also a threat to Jews. She says anti-Zionist Jews are just trying to blend in with the “cool group,” when they should be celebrating Jewish specialness, and our “radical ideas” that still “drive people crazy.”
