Well after nine years away, there's nothing else to say to the bothsidesist fraud Jon Stewart bashing Biden, except: Please make it another nine years

Despite the predictions of many forecasters, there wasn’t a recession in 2023. Instead, inflation has come down significantly and we’ve maintained a healthy labor market. The unemployment rate is near historic lows. And we’ve had the fastest – and fairest – recovery on record.

.@KatyTurNBC We know you're thrilled to have a Black woman from Chicago disparage the Democratic Party but maybe you should remind Ms. Cata Truss that when it comes to immigration she should direct her ire at #Congress. Wish her luck voting for the cult, the American Nazi party.

Paging Genocide Jake (@jaketapper). How’s your Hamas command center doing?
Remembering again @jaketapper’s article (rushed to publish the night Israel assaulted the hospital) claiming this was a command center. CNN inserted a disclaimer that it couldn’t verify the claim, but Tapper insisted on putting his name to it. He hasn’t addressed this since.

The longer version of the video of Egyptian podcaster Rahma Zein confronting CNN reporter Clarissa Ward at the Rafah crossing. It's raw, sincere, and powerful. Much respect for Rahma, she expressed our collective pain at the Western media's dehumanization of the Palestinians.

When Jimmy Carter wrote “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” he faced blowback. I read it in 2007. Here is a snippet from an interview he did on MSNBC. Powerful. Yes, I recommend the book.

Awni Eldous was a 12-year-old Palestinian YouTuber who was killed by an Israeli air strike. Our tax dollars are funding an ethnic cleansing. Israel, US politicians, and US media have been gaslighting Americans into supporting their atrocities for decades. xitter.cf/Raghadm_48/status/1714…

Channel 4 overtly saying the clip of two ‘Palestinians’ discussing Al Ahli hospital - disclosed by Israel in response to it being bombed - is fake, is the bravest reporting a U.K. broadcaster has done in a very long time. It has massive implications.

So the fake beheaded babies story was credible enough to run on basically every front page in the lane but the we need to be very cautious about whether the people bombing Gaza bombed Gaza. Got it.

Now is a good time to remember the time when the IDF gunned down a journalist on video and immediately claimed the Palestinians did it.

A mystery for the ages: either the country that has been carpet bombing gaza for a week blew up a hospital or Hamas suddenly developed the most powerful rocket in their arsenal, previously unknown to the world, and then dropped it on themselves.

CNN is airing blanket Israeli Gov propaganda about the unspeakable hospital attack. Just one unsubstantiated claim after another blaming Islamic Jihad. Nothing about this resembles journalism. Outrageous.

I don't know what the hell is going on @MSNBC but I do know that we need the voices of @mehdirhasan @AymanMSNBC and @AliVelshi now more than ever. And I remember when anti-war voices were taken off the air after 9/11 when we needed them most.

This video of Ali Velshi is from May 15, 2021, and is not about the Israel/Hamas conflict in October 2023. youtu.be/gKkjPtleWEU?si…

This is what @Morning_Joe does. Typical right wing lies
Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn't go well.
