STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

In 2 Years of Gaza Genocide, Sunday Shows on NBC, ABC and CNN Have Not Featured a Single Palestinian Guest

In a microcosm of the U.S. coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, since Oct. 7, 2023, influential Sunday news shows have not seen fit to book any Palestinians.

@gregsargent.bsky.social: "He & Trump are trying as hard as possible to provoke violent responses to these invasions because they want them to create yet another pretext to escalate further. They will stop at nothing when it comes to the level of propagandizing they'll do to make it seem justified."

Despite all of the threats and nasty messages I have received, I’ve actually received more notes of support and solidarity.

So I just wanted to take a moment amidst a hectic time to thank everyone who has reached out.

I don’t know when I will have the time to reply to everyone, but I intend to.

NYT piece calls these MAGA types "provocateurs." It describes "dueling versions of reality." Both are common MSM tropes.

But these are not provocateurs. They're propagandists. Only one side is employing deliberate deceptions on a vast scale for instrumental ends. 3/
