Washington Post Criticizes Hamas Hostages’ Parents, New York Times Minimizes Biden’s Bailout Efforts and Other News

We say: What kind of sick mind slams the parents of a 22-year-old kid held hostage by Hamas terrorists for 10 months?

And to do so, no less, because they failed to criticize Israel’s efforts to free him?

The WaPo might want to bash the Jewish state at every opportunity, but normal folks don’t.

Facing blowback, the paper deleted the tweet, but it left the slap at the parents in its news story.

And it still couldn’t bring itself to say that Omer Neutra had been taken hostage by terrorists: As in its original tweet, the replacement continued to say he was merely “missing.” Pathetic.

This claim:

“The president has placed the national interest above his own pride and ambition.”

— NY Times editorial, Sunday

We say: What a distortion! President Biden didn’t act in “the national interest” by dropping his reelection bid; Democratic bigwigs had to drag him kicking and screaming.

Indeed, some sources say they purposely let him debate Donald Trump to show the world how impaired he is — and then threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to force him out.

If Biden truly cared about the national interest, he wouldn’t have run at all this year.

Dems could’ve then held primaries to let actual voters decide who’d replace him, rather than the party’s elite.      

This story:

“Trump’s Massive Deportation Plan Echoes Concentration Camp History”

— Andrea Pitzer at Scientific American, Tuesday

We say: Where do they get such vile nonsense?

Yes, Donald Trump wants to deport millions of migrants; they broke the law by crossing the border illegally and have no right to be here.

Yet victims at Nazi concentration camps (the sites suggested by Scientific American’s wacky headline) broke no laws. And they were used as slaves and executed.

Trump merely wants to deport folks who shouldn’t be here, are costing US citizens billions, competing for their jobs and bringing drugs, crime and possible terrorism to US soil.

Can any comparison be more warped?

Spot the difference:

“Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said . . .”

— Axios, April 14, 2021

vs.

We say: Axios is bashing Team Trump for calling Kamala Harris “border czar.”

Hmm: Wonder where they got that idea.

Maybe from Axios itself, which, like most outlets, used the term to describe her in 2021.

Now she’s the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, having failed miserably to control the border, so media like Axios are pretending she had nothing at all to do with Team Biden’s border disaster. Hey, at least they’re (implicitly) acknowledging the failures.
