CNN says hostages were "released" and gets blowback in spades

The Communist News Network (CNN) received powerful online criticism after they ran a segment about the Israeli hostages who were rescued in Gaza by the IDF. The pro-Hamasshole network exchanged the word "rescued" saying the four captives had been released, implying that Hamas let them go rather than putting up a fierce fight to keep them in captivity. 

In fact, Hamas fired RPGs, small arms, and rockets in an attempt to keep the Israelis from making the rescue. It's likely Hamas killed many of their own Arabs but blamed all the deaths of their claim of 200 on the IDF. 

CNN anchor Victor Blackwell and Ian Bremmer, founder of the Eurasia Group, were discussing the dramatic rescue when the word “release” appeared in a chyron, evidently put there by a jihadi CNN clown.

The hostages were reunited with their family on Saturday and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with them to welcome them home.

After CNN's anti-Semitic chyron had made its way across the bottom of the 24 viewers of the failing network, critics clarified what really happened as compared to what CNN would like their useful idiots to believe. That is, Hamas obviously didn't release the hostages willingly. 

Yaari Cohen, an Israeli student called the chyron “disgusting, adding that the network “should be ashamed.”

“Hamas didn’t “release” these Hostages, the IDF rescued them after Hamas held them for 8 months!!” Cohen said on X.

StopAntisemitism, in a posting to X, wrote: “Come on @CNN the four hostages were RESCUED not released. Do better,”

Neither Blackwell nor Bremmer used the word “release,” during the interview because they suck as so-called journalists, and work for a propaganda, anti-Semitic network that should lose their sponsorship.

Hamas still has more than 100 Israeli hostages in captivity in Gaza and it isn't expected anytime soon that they plan to "release" any of them. We still don't know with certainty how many of them are still alive.

CNN is a joke that isn't funny.

Harvard professor suggested Hamas attack was attempt to hide Netanyahu corruption: gets outed and apologizes

Larry Tribe: professor at Saudi-funded Harvard University

Harvard professor Larry Tribe tweeted/deleted his conspiracy theory that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pursuing a war with Hamas to distract from his own government corruption. But he's now saying he's sorry for the "ill-informed" statement. X users had blasted his bull crap which is probably why he apologized.

Netanyahu responded to the Sabbath attack which initially killed about 100 Israelis by declaring that Israel is "at war" with Hamas. They have also taken military and civilian hostages, the latter being a war crime.

Tribe posted that the prime minister was "wagging the dog of war" in order to keep the focus off his own authoritarian power.

So the alternative for Netanyahu would have been to keep his mouth shut and just take it on the chin, like a good Jew and stop trying to fool the world that Israel needs to strike back. That didn't work out so well for them back in the day.

A large number of X users, even including Keith Olbermann, refused to buy the crap that Tribe was trying to sell and called the moron an "idiot" who needs to "go commit" himself somewhere. And when Olbermann attacks one of his own idiots, you know that person is an flaming idiot. He said of Tribe that his take on Netanyahu was "moronic and indefensible." 

Kudos to Olbermann.

Local Israeli media reported Sunday that at least 600 Israelis have been killed and 1,800 wounded since the Hamasshole sneak attack from Gaza on Saturday morning.

Tribe's post linked to Washington Post’s coverage of the Saturday attack in Israel after Hamas launched several thousand rockets into civilian areas of Israel, killing Israelis as they slept or on their own streets.

Tribe, who evidently thinks he's a mindreader, said that Netanyahu's motivation for war weren't simply about defending Israelis, but an attempt to keep the focus off of himself.

Dave Rubin, a conservative political commentator tweeted to Tribe: "You are a f------ idiot."

Author Ian Bremmer asked Tribe, "Are you kidding me? have you seen what’s happening on the ground? worst take I've seen this morning. and the bar is high."

Defense attorney and conservative commentator Marina Medvin wrote, "You’re a disgusting terrorist a--kisser."

Fox News reporter Julie Kelly posted: "You need to go commit yourself somewhere."

Seattle radio host Jason Rantz blasted the legal scholar, stating, "Thanks for reminding people that you’re the absolute worst person."

Israel needs to go beyond with how they have historically responded to Islamic terrorist attacks. They need to turn a deaf ear to the anti-Semitic criticism they get for responding with greater force than their enemies have meted out to them. And idiots like Tribe need to constantly be called out like this when making such ridiculous claims.

Israel needs to destroy Hamas completely and mean it when they say "Never Again."

Fake News Time by Ian Bremmer: Trump responds

Ian Bremmer, a Time Magazine foreign affairs columnist and editor-at-large, on Sunday posted a fake quote that he claimed was made by President Trump about "Sleepy Joe Biden" and Kim Jong Un.

The tweet said:

"President Trump in Tokyo: 'Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden.'"

The quote, which Bremmer attributed to President Trump was widely promoted by media figures and Trump critics who always jump at the chance to attack him before confirming facts and later having to retract after hordes of people had already seen it and rarely read the retraction.

Bremmer later acknowledged online that he fabricated [aka lied] the "objectively ludicrous quote." Trump has since correctly responded by pointing to the incident as yet another example of "what’s going on in the age of Fake News."

According to the Washington Examiner and The Daily Caller, the quote was left up for several hours, giving Trump-haters plenty of time to see it. In the interim, several Trump critics promoted it, among them Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Confusion), Media Matters' Andrew Lawrence, and Compromised News Network (CNN) contributor Ana "My Feelings Don't Care About Your Facts" Navarro.

Navarro urged people not to "shrug" the quote off and declared Trump's falsified comment "praising a cruel dictator who violates human rights, threatens nuclear attacks, oppresses his people, and kills political opponents" as "NOT FREAKING NORMAL."

Navarro should have waited and checked the FREAKING FACTS before freaking out.

The Examiner's Jerry Dunleavy said that after the tweet went viral, Bremmer initially posted a defense of his fake quote, describing it as "plausible" and saying it was a comment on "the state of the media and the twitterverse today." But amid mounting pressure, Bremmer ultimately chose to delete the "objectively ludicrous quote."

It's also plausible that Ian Bremmer is a Russian agent hell-bent on destroying the office of the U.S. presidency and is having an affair with Vladimir Putin. But I wouldn't tweet it, nor defend it.

"If this alleged quote from Trump is accurate, it’s a huge propaganda win for the disgusting murderous tyrant that is King Jong Un," Dunleavy initially posted. "But if this quote is fabricated, it’s a truly deceitful piece of Fake News. And I’d like more than just Ian Bremmer’s say-so before I decide which." Dunleavy added in an update that Bremmer "has now admitted that he fabricated this viral Trump quote. And yet it is being shared by journalists and congressmen as if it is real."

Trump tweeted on Monday:

"[Ian Bremmer] now admits that he MADE UP 'a completely ludicrous quote,' attributing it to me. This is what’s going on in the age of Fake News. People think they can say anything and get away with it. Really, the libel laws should be changed to hold Fake News Media accountable!"

He may have a good idea going there--shouldn't those who make up false and damaging statements about someone, not only the President, be held accountable?

In spite of the fact that Trump never said the words Bremmer claimed, he actually did tweet over the weekend that he "smiled" when Kim described Biden as "a low IQ individual." While that's understandable, it isn't very good strategy on Trump's part.

People are getting tired of ad hominem attacks by politicians--especially attacks against Trump. So when Trump does it, it almost justifies the opposition and it makes him look thin-skinned.
