"Their motives and goals remain a mystery," the reporter stated as the Hamas terrorist waved the banner in the background. "Are they seeking full Palestinian statehood and sovereignty? Are they hoping to improve the lives of the civilians under their charge? Do they want Taylor Swift tickets? Sadly, we may, in fact, never know what it is they truly want."

The media is actually doing this. Its not a spoof.
Kinzinger trotted out on the set of CBS' "The Stephen Colbert Show" to hawk his new book, and promptly compared newly-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to Afghanistan's Taliban, one of the most horrendous Islamist terrorist organizations on the planet. Ridiculous? Of course.

Nevertheless, in response to Cobert's set-up question, Kinzinger gleefully took the bait.
Kinzinger then played the Taliban card.
Totally ignorant, and unworthy of a serious response — so I won't.

The name 'Richard Hanania' should ring some bells for long time reader of Twitchy. In the past we've covered him discussing such topics as bumping off old people for the good of society, how the true tragedy of places not having abortion is all of the kids with Downs Syndrome that will be born, and his take that 'a China-led world might be a more humane one.'

Washington Post Smears Elon Musk By Comparing Him To Henry Ford
“Long before Elon Musk,” writes Shra Avi-Yonah in The Washington Post, “Henry Ford went to war with Jewish groups:”
Just like Ford, you see, auto tycoon and prominent businessman Musk has also been “accused” of “enabling” anti-Semitism.
“Enabling” is a favorite of the contemporary leftist, who makes little distinction between neutral principles of free expression and the morality of the opinions being expressed. Consequently, anyone who believes that bad people should be able to say bad things can be accused of being an “enabler.”
It is true that Musk permits most users, some of them abhorrent, to have their say. You might think this is a dangerous way to conduct business. But a newspaper doesn’t profess to be an open “platform.” Ford bought the local Dearborn Independent explicitly to publish and actively spread conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific racialist ideas about Jews. Ford was not an enabler.

The ADL allegedly pressured X to limit open discourse and threatened Musk’s business by organizing a boycott. You are free to agree with the ADL’s efforts, but Musk’s reaction was aimed at an organization, not at Jews.
And, as I’ve written, the ADL, which the Post describes as being formed “more than a century ago to defend Jewish people from antisemitic defamation,” isn’t a “Jewish” organization in any genuine ethnic or theological sense. It is a partisan left-wing advocacy shop that is helmed by Jews and spends most of its efforts pushing intersectionality, slandering Republicans over dog whistles (most of them imagined), and attempting to deplatform voices it doesn’t like — including, for instance, Chaya Raichik, an orthodox Jew who circulates videos of insane leftists.
The ADL is free to engage in that behavior, but it is not a proxy or envoy of the Jewish people.
Then again, even if Elon Musk was a raging anti-Semite — it’s not like we can bore into his soul — there is still a vital difference.
X also gives a chance for any Jewish organization that chooses to participate, including the ADL, so that it can offer ideas, rebuttals, and reporting. It is only because of X that The New York Times’ recent fake story about the destruction of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza was so quickly debunked. In years past, the Times and others would spread disinformation about Israel (or cover up the Holocaust), and it would take tremendous effort to undo some of the damage.
I did a post on NBC News' "dystopia beat" reporter Ben Collins saying that he was going to quit journalism at the end of the year, even though he had "no skills." He had a couple of big stories to finish up first, though. Collins is one of those curiosities to me … if you search NBC News for articles he's written, there are barely any. Apparently, you can go months between publishing a story at NBC News and still keep your job. He does do occasional hits on Joy Reid's conspiracy program, though.
Collins is still around for now, and as we reported earlier, Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik posted a photo of her holding the issue of USA TODAY with a hit piece on Libs of TikTok on the cover. Collins found it "despicable."
So sad.

Yes, thank you, Ben! USA Today is despicable.

Ben, have you directed your scorn toward USA Today?
Because, that's where it belongs.

This weekend, the Washington Post ran a hysterical, long-form, non-paywalled article headlined, “Trump And Allies Plot Revenge, Justice Department Control In A Second Term.” Revenge plots! The sub-headline darkly warned, “Advisers have also discussed deploying the military to quell potential unrest on Inauguration Day. Critics have called the ideas under consideration dangerous and unconstitutional.”Clearly the WaPo became very upset when it discovered that the Trump Team is working with the Heritage Foundation to draft various procedures and executive orders intended to drain the swamp and safeguard the 2024 election. In particular, WaPo was incensed at Trump’s alleged plans to investigate a whole slew of people in the federal government, including both democrats (like Biden and his family) as well as Republicans (like Attorney General Bill Barr and Retired General Mark Milley).
Trump and Heritage have also suggested deployment of the U.S. Military under the Insurrection Act, to protect the 2024 election from violent protests and other types of election sabotage.
In light of all that, suddenly, somehow, the completely tone-deaf WaPo has magically discovered the alarming term: “banana republic.” Apparently, when conservatives even think about doing it, banana-republicing is “dangerous” and “unconstitutional”:
Really? Would it resemble a banana republic if people came into office and started going after their opponents willy-nilly? Hmm. I wonder. Do you think we could find any examples of that kind of thing laying around the country anywhere? Now, before you guys say what I know you are going to say, the WaPo was way ahead of you.
Don’t say Trump! Trump’s prosecutions are totally different and not politically-motivated at all. Here’s how the WaPo simply explained the difference:
So there you have it! It’s so simple. Case closed. Grandma Garland and President Robert L. Peters have both assured you — quite firmly now — that politics had nothing to do with it; Trump is just a master criminal who went on a national crime spree of victimless process crimes and now he must pay the price. And don’t worry, Biden and Garland would definitely tell us if they were prosecuting Trump banana republic style. They wouldn’t lie about something like that.
Neither would the Washington Post, dummies. How dare you.
Seriously, though, I’m not a fan of banana-republic-style political prosecutions when anybody does it. But the banana-colored feline is out of the Republic’s bag, or words to that effect. Reform would be great. We desperately need criminal justice reform across the board; we should strip from the books all the so-called strict-liability (intent-less) crimes, the process crimes, the victimless crimes, and so forth. It shouldn’t be a felony to lie to a federal officer if the lie is not about anything material, for example.
The WaPo story utterly failed to mention the fact that deranged leftists have long planned to disrupt the 2024 elections and any potential Republican presidency. Buried by the news are credible reports of leftist plans to: shut down the nation’s capital in case of Trump’s re-inauguration, disrupt major ports and shipping facilities, and in one remarkable example, to bomb the FedEx facility and the airport in Memphis, Tennessee – one of the busiest cargo airports in the world. Generally, intercepted plans suggest leftists intend to widely disrupt U.S. economic activity unless Trump is removed from office.
And those are just the ones we know about.
Here’s what to take away from this story. For over two years now, I’ve heard conservatives complain about the stolen election and the lack of planning about how to actually drain the swamp. But there IS planning going on about how to drain the swamp. And there is planning going on about how to secure the elections. There are two very good reasons why you haven’t heard more about those plans.
First, Establishment Media will never report anything that would buoy conservative hopes. So it’s not like they’ll be advertising it for us. Second, it’s not time yet. Especially as to election security, if remedial security plans were unveiled too soon, then cheaters would have time to develop countermeasures. Some things have to be done early and publicly, like changes to elections laws in some states, and we’ve seen those. But as for other strategies, one must wait till very close to the election before revealing the whole plan.
I do not know all the plans. I do not need to know. But I do know there is a lot of planning going on. There’s no guarantee the plans will work. But never think that conservatives are rolling blindly into this election cycle without plans. And today’s WaPo story proves how just upset the liberals are to find out about conservative planning.

Mainstream Outlets Had Photographers Embedded With Hamas As Terror Attack Unfolded: Report
Photos posted by the news agencies of the surprise terrorist attack on Israel include ones showing terrorists breaking the gates to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where residents were caught completely off guard and dozens were murdered. Photos also show that photographers were on the scene as terrorists took civilians such as Shani Louk hostage, and attacking Israeli tanks on the other side of the Gaza border.
The photos raise serious questions about whether the news agencies had advance knowledge that the terrorist attacks were taking place. The four individuals credited by the Associated Press for images of the attacks — Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali — are all photographers based in Gaza, where it was revealed in 2021 that the Associated Press shared office space with the terrorist group.
One of the photographers, Hassan Eslaiah, has reportedly been pictured getting kissed by a top Hamas operative who is said to be one of the chief architects of the deadly terrorist attacks, which killed over 1,400 and have led to a massive war with Israel.
BOMBSHELL: Photographers for AP and Reuters were on hand to capture the Israel massacre
By Andrea Widburg
Honest Reporting broke a bombshell today: Gaza-based photographers who work for the Associated Press and Reuters were on the scene of the October 7 massacre in Israel very early in the morning, ready to capture the moment when Hamas fighters raped, kidnapped, tortured, and slaughtered almost 1,500 Israeli civilians. Maybe they heard about what happened and decided it was newsworthy, so they hustled on over. Or maybe Reuters and the AP are paying money to people who knew that civilians were about to be massacred and either thought, “Yay” or “What a great opportunity to collect a paycheck.”
Here's what Honest Reporting had to say:
The report then identifies the paid photographers who were on the scene. There’s Hassan Eslaiah, a freelancer who took photos of a burnie Israeli tank (including a selfie of himself in front of the tank) and then got pictures of terrorists entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza. Maybe he just lived nearby and followed a story. Or maybe AP paid money to someone who has a picture of himself smiling happily as he gets a kiss from Yahya Sinwar, who masterminded the attack:
AllSides Analysis Returns Lean Left Rating for NewsBreak
A new AllSides bias analysis found NewsBreak has a Lean Left bias, as it predominantly curates from Left-Leaning media outlets.
AllSides conducted a three-week review of NewsBreak, a news aggregator, in September 2023. NewsBreak’s “National News” section displayed far more articles with a AllSides Media Bias Rating™ of Lean Left than those with a Left, Center, Lean Right or Right rating.
Overall, the bias of the top news sources that appeared on Newsbreak were 0% Left-rated, 80% Lean Left-rated, 10% Center-rated, 0% Lean Right-rated, 8% Right-rated, and 2% not rated by AllSides.
NewsBreak says it “believes in highlighting diverse voices, stories, opinions, and sources.” But with 80% of its sources curated from Lean Left-rated outlets, users aren’t reading diverse voices.
Fox News was the only Right-rated outlet Newsbreak displayed in its National News section during the analysis. No outlets that were Left-rated or Lean Right-rated were displayed. Top sources included ABC News (Lean Left), Associated Press (Lean Left), and CBS News (Lean Left).
On NewsBreak’s Community Standards page, it describes its commitment to fairness (emphasis ours): “NewsBreak believes in highlighting diverse voices, stories, opinions, and sources. We favor work that presents all relevant sides of a story and provides all necessary context. It is equally important that our contributors and partners do not draw false moral equivalencies where none exist… Excessive bias that distorts or misrepresents is not allowed.” While this AllSides analysis cannot speak to whether the biases found in NewsBreak’s feed are intentional, if NewBreak’s goal is to highlight diverse sources, then it falls short by presenting users with news that is 80% Lean Left-rated.
