How about a round of applause for the DNC Media and Democrat politicians who uncritically amplified Hamas propaganda, spreading a story that has already caused violent riots and will probably get people killed?

Pro tip, kids: assume the rapists and baby-murderers are LYING.

After years of bleating about "disinformation," you clowns encountered a textbook example of it - furnished by an organization you KNOW is barbaric and evil, that perpetrated unspeakable atrocities just days ago - and you failed utterly. You had no immune system response at all.

This disinformation had immediate real-world consequences. Violent riots erupted across the Middle East. Diplomatic meetings were canceled. Jew-hating groups around the world were energized. Members of Congress repeated your toxic disinformation as fact.

This was EXACTLY the kind of situation professional journalists should be on guard against. It's exactly the kind of thing you've been telling us for years that only credentialed members of the media guild can handle. And you ended up flat on your face, complete failures.

You circus clowns used to run chyrons "fact-checking" politicians you don't like in "real time." Many of your tendentious "fact checks" boil down to "true, but a Republican said it, so false." But you believed Hamas implicitly, no questions asked, no scare quotes.

Not only did media orgs fail to provide any "fact-checking" or basic skepticism against one of the worst proven-liar information sources on the planet, but they HELPED by filling in the blanks with conjecture. They polished the turd before passing it on.

The cold truth is that not only are major media outlets far more gullible than they pretend, but they were LOOKING for a story exactly like this. Hamas furnished the anti-Israel headline they were dying to run. It slotted very neatly into their oppressor/victim narrative.

The media types and despicable politicians who ran wild with this story had to suppress their recollection of the Hamas atrocities to treat them as a credible source. How could you swallow their garbage if the image of blood-splattered playpens was still fresh in your mind?

Unless, of course, you APPROVE of those blood-splattered playpens at some level, or you subscribe to oppression theology that blames Israelis for every horror visited upon them, because the Palestinians have no agency. Then you'd be willing to rip-and-read Hamas press releases.

Congrats to DNC Media, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the rest of that scurvy crew for giving Hamas EVERY REASON IN THE WORLD to blow up Palestinians and blame it on the IDF. You just gave terrorists the biggest incentive since Joe Biden paid Iran $6 billion for 5 hostages. /end
