Memo to ABC News: Rock Throwing is Not Symbolic, It’s Violent
Daniel Greenfield
There are great moments in the annals of network news journalism. CBS had Dan Rather’s time traveling documents from the Vietnam War that were somehow written in Microsoft Word. (The fact that the media routinely praised Rather as a paragon of journalism tells you everything you need to know about them.) NBC News had its…

Murphy Brown and the Desperate Monetization of #Resistance
Daniel Greenfield
The only thing funny about the Murphy Brown trailer is its existence. There’s an actress playing an anchorwoman (whom 60 Minutes briefly decided should be an actual anchorwoman before Candice Bergen brought them to their sense) lecturing us about “fake news” and “real journalism”. Fake news really doesn’t get any more fake than an actress…

Country Advocating for “Palestinians” at UN Expelled 400,000 Of Them
Daniel Greenfield
After the latest Hamas violence, Kuwait took charge of agitating against Israel at the UN. Kuwait convened the UN meeting that Ambassador Haley ably shut down. It was pushing a UN draft resolution and an investigation of the violence. The posturing by Kuwait’s U.N. Ambassador Mansour al-Otaibi about “protecting civilians” is all the most absurd…

85% of Casualties in Hamas Gaza Attacks Were Terror Group Members
Daniel Greenfield
It’s a shocking and unexpected development considering that in the previous attacks, the majority of casualties turned out to be from Hamas. The latest information is that 50 of the 62 casualties from the Hamas violence were members of Hamas. Another 3 were from Islamic Jihad. As Jewish Agency spokesman Avi Mayer points out, that…

California Hits High in Social Diseases and Social Justice
Daniel Greenfield
California is becoming a one-party STD state. As recently as 2010, California’s governor, lieutenant governor, and state treasurer were all Republicans. Now Democrats hold every statewide elected office. In 2010 there were 19 Republican U.S. House members in the state. Now there are 14. In 2010 there were 15 Republicans in the State Senate and…

Free Syrian Army Commander Gave Obama Supplies to Al Qaeda
Daniel Greenfield
When John Kerry, John Brennan and the rest of the Obama gang do their tour of media green rooms and late lunches offering reproving quotes about Trump’s foreign policy, here’s a reminder of what they oversaw. U.S. military equipment and ammunition, sent to Syria as part of a failed Obama administration plan to find and…

Jordan Peterson Doesn’t Enable Jew-Hatred, The Forward Does
Daniel Greenfield
The Forward, a formerly Jewish paper which today specializes in attacking Jews for an audience of lefty hipsters, decided to do a drive-by attack on Jordan Peterson. “Is Jordan Peterson Enabling Jew Hatred?” Jordan Peterson isn’t. The Forward is. In recent months, the Forward chose to run an editorial defending radical leftist Jeremy Corbyn even…

NBC News Must Apologize for Slandering John Bolton and Gatestone
Daniel Greenfield
Last month, I did a basic fact check on an NBC News hit piece by Heidi Przybyla aimed at John Bolton and the Gatestone Institute. The NBC News hit piece was fairly typical of what journalism looks like today. It was based on innuendo, artfully tying together assorted false claims for a smear, none of…

FACT CHECK: Bolton’s “Anti-Muslim Think Tank” Includes Many Muslims
Daniel Greenfield
NBC News rolled out a vicious attack on John Bolton for his work with the respected Gatestone Institute. According to NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, “John Bolton chaired anti-Muslim think tank” and “Gatestone advocacy group’s content is part of echo chamber that includes Russian media.” The front page article on Gatestone’s site right now is Bassam Tawil’s…
