BROADCAST BIAS: Networks hide Mahmoud Khalil's pro-Hamas message, show lots of sympathy

[Michie]

Mahmoud Khalil and his group are pro-Hamas. This should not be whitewashed as "pro-Palestinian." But this is what the broadcast networks do​

This week’s media cause célèbre is Mahmoud Khalil, the leader of a New York City protest group calling itself Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD). The network newscasts displayed no interest in this group’s public statements and couldn’t connect their messaging with their protest leader.

On October 9, 2024, The New York Times reported CUAD marked the anniversary of Hamas slaughtering over 1,200 Israeli civilians by distributing a newspaper with a headline that used Hamas’s name for the mass murder: "One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution Until Victory." The group posted an essay calling the attack a "moral, military and political victory" and quoting Ismail Haniyeh, the assassinated former political leader of Hamas.

This is pro-Hamas. It should not be whitewashed as "pro-Palestinian." But this is what the broadcast networks do. The documented facts that CUAD supports Hamas are downplayed as mere Trump talking points.

The media have lost all credibility after covering up Biden's mental decline but I see they haven't learned anything
