“The Story Itself Is Fake”: Former Associated Press Journalist Exposes The Media's Complicity With Hamas.
“Instead of covering the circus, the reporters became dancing bears in the circus.” — Matti Friedman
In a charged conversation at the 2025 AJC Global Forum in New York this past April, veteran journalist and former Associated Press (AP) correspondent Matti Friedman issued a sobering warning: the Western media is not reporting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — it’s helping to construct it. And worse, he says, it's doing so under the ideological direction of Hamas.
Friedman, who served at the AP's Jerusalem bureau from 2006 to 2011, first spoke out in 2014 about what he witnessed. But in light of the October 7 Hamas massacre and its aftermath, he returned to the conversation with more urgency — and evidence — that journalism has been weaponized against Israel, truth, and democratic societies themselves.

MSM, US Universities, and bought foreign nations have pumped up Hamas lies trying to make it into the Truth.
Enough has been exposed Sunday and Monday for the reality could no longer be twisted by Mass Media.
Yes, this is a foreign media. But it contains what the real story is.
Excellent article.
Money quote:
“When asked how to reverse this trend, Friedman was unsparing in his realism: “The institutions can’t be saved.”
The mass media is our enemy.
It cannot be fixed.
bttt
As long as Hamas holds the Israeli hostages, the control the narrative. When Bibi finally realizes he’s not getting them back alive, he will raze Gaza to the ground, no stone unturned.
When the hostage families and supporters finally realize they're not getting them back alive, Bibi will raze Gaza to the ground, no stone unturned.
This is a lesson that can be learned just by reading the headlines. I try to make a point of reading liberal news sources, dry heaves not withstanding.
Some people living in the old Soviet Union were often surprisingly well-informed, despite having access to only heavily censored government news outlets. The trick lay in developing a sense of offset with regard to the news. That is, they just naturally assumed that if the government was saying one thing, the truth must be different by a certain degree, depending on the circumstances, and so they adjusted accordingly.
As noted in the article, the institutions that have been corrupted cannot be saved.
New institutions and organizations based on facts and reality must be stood up.
Because Hamas is a creation of the Deep State.
and if the Islamist wins the mayoral race in NYC, they will have a huge base of operations.
Hamas is a creation of the Islamist world which has been killing Jews, Christians and Hindus for 1400 years. The real Forever War that no one sees or acknowledges.
Correct.
It must NOT Happen.
Enough said.
“creation of the Deep State”
Vermin of the Deepest State = Vermin of Hell
We fight:
Light vs Dark
Good vs Evil
Truth vs Lies
Joy vs Torture
Life vs Death
Heaven vs Hell
Yes. Agree
Yes.
Daily
Double Bag Barf Alert!
This Evil makes you want to Lock n Load.
That may come.
Tomorrow, the call will be made.
Hamas has already refused to release any more hostages.
Trump is behind Bibi, green light when it’s time.
It is extremely important.
We must Stand our Ground. Good Must Prevail.
Many Many people believe that God is Using President Trump to help us save our nation and the free world.
He is determined. The assassination attempt changed him.
Thanks. Matti Friedman also exposed Reuters in 2014 for not reporting on Hanas human shields tactics - seen.
There are no excuses for what Hamas has done and is still doing.
The MSM are a party to it. They know, but refuse to admit what Hamas and Hezbollah really are.
Visual? Yes, they can lie.
Imagine the smell, of death. That is unavoidable.
All Jihadi’s worship destruction, murder, rape, and unimaginable cruelty in the process.
