[snip] On Friday's edition of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish described the anti-ICE activity in L.A. as "one of the kind of ultimate split-screen stories," in which some people see protests, while others see "fires and disorders." Responded CNN media analyst Sara Fischer: "The misinformation split screen reminds me a lot of January 6th . . . We had a very similar dynamic as well during the George Floyd protests, where it was a question of whether or not this was left-wing Antifa destroying stores, destroying glass fronts, or if it was folks on the right."Get the rest of...

Have you considered that you simply don't hate the press enough? If you think you do, you might find yourself reconsidering after reading this latest story. As RedState reported, a pro-Palestinian terrorist in Colorado threw Molotov cocktails at peaceful marchers as they silently remembered the hostages being held by Hamas. The attack took place in Boulder, injuring at least five people. Police arrested Mohamad Soliman at the scene, with videos showing him shouting "Palestine is free" and "end Zionists" as he attempted to burn innocent people alive. In the aftermath of such an attack, you'd hope that press outlets would...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Senior Correspondent Donie O’Sullivan said that it is “concerning” to see fans of Luigi Mangione cheering violence, his supporters are “people who have actually been really hurt and who are in a desperate situation and have a rage, a sort of rightful rage.” O’Sullivan said, “[M]ost of the time, we’re speaking about right-wing extremism in this country, and that is because that is, by a massive margin, where the extremist attacks have come from, right? From Charlottesville to January 6. However, the reason why we’re focusing on the Mangione fans here is...

Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk was walking alone Tuesday night to meet friends at a dinner where they would break their 13-hour Ramadan fast when six plainclothes officers suddenly encircled her on the street near her apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts, surveillance video shows. The 30-year-old shrieked in fear when an officer in a hooded sweatshirt and hat grabbed her by the wrists as another pulled out a concealed badge on a lanyard and confiscated her cell phone. Soon afterward, the swarm of officers who had surrounded her on the sidewalk pulled cloth coverings over their mouths and noses, some...

President Donald Trump’s administration is trying to expand the definition of domestic terrorism as it aims to crack down on a wave of attacks in which Teslas have been shot and set on fire, apparently to protest CEO Elon Musk’s powerful but murky role in cutting the US government. Critics of Musk and Trump will see irony in use of the term “domestic terrorism” to describe people attacking electric vehicles after Trump issued mass pardons for more than 1,000 January 6 rioters who stormed the Capitol and tried to disrupt confirmation of the 2020 election results. Under President Joe Biden’s...

CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour has sparked outrage as she insisted that Iran does not want conflict at the exact moment the nation was raining missiles on Israel. The British-Iranian journalist claimed live on air that the Islamic Republic does not want its conflict with Israel to 'escalate,' and suggested the Jewish state is to blame for Tuesday's attack. 'Nobody, nobody, not the Lebanese nor the Iranians want this to escalate even further. Iran does not want an Israeli or a U.S. war against it. It is unlikely to be able to resist that, it does not want it,' Amanpour told...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “First Move,” CNN Jerusalem Correspondent Jeremy Diamond stated that “the escalations we’ve seen over the course of the last week and a half have prompted Hezbollah to go further than they have before,” and the strike against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is “the latest in a series of escalations that we have seen the Israeli military and its government carry out over the course of the last week and a half.” Diamond said that the Nasrallah strike “marks just the latest in a series of escalations that we have seen the Israeli military and...

Israeli hostages who were freed in a rescue operation Saturday reportedly confirmed that they had been held by Palestinian journalist Abdallah Aljamal — but a CNN story about the claim continues to say it is “without … evidence.” The four rescued hostages had been held in two separate homes in Nuseirat, Gaza, within 200 meters of each other. One female hostage, Noa Argamani, was held in one location, while the three male hostages were held in another. As Breitbart News reported, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the three male hostages had been held by a journalist named Abdallah...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” host Jake Tapper reacted to 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump comparing the situation on college campuses to Charlottesville by stating that “There has been some anti-Israel sentiment and there has been some antisemitic sentiment,” but “most of them” were “peaceful, most of them in support of Palestinian rights” and “that’s not what the neo-Nazis in the Unite the Right rally were doing. That was not a peaceful march that turned into something ugly. It was ugly from the word go.”

As the world’s attention continues to be focused on the war between Israel and Hamas, mainstream media have relied on people on the ground in both Israel and Gaza as vital sources of information or eyewitness accounts. Dunia Abu Rahma, a 22-year-old architecture student from Gaza, has appeared in recent days on both CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 and NBC News to tell her story. Abu Rahma told the veteran CNN reporter Anderson Cooper, “All I want them to know that there are civilians, people who wish to live a normal, peaceful life, to feel safe, because we are human, and...

It didn’t even take a week. In the first few days after Hamas began their barbaric and genocidal attacks on Israel, the American and international media mostly did a good job reporting on the atrocities committed by Hamas. To their credit, they reported that more than 1,000 Israeli Jews had been slaughtered just on Saturday, Oct. 7 alone. They reported that dozens of Israeli babies had been murdered and that some of them had even been decapitated. And that hundreds of Israeli youths were gunned down at a music festival. And that other Israelis were set on fire and burned...
