Is there anyone you can think of in the media -- any prominent figure in big national media -- who calls out hatred equally, whether it's coming from the right or the left? For this episode, I went looking and did find someone, but not in America. It's someone across the pond whom you'll hear from.
I've been following the media's responses to Elon Musk's gesture that might have been a Nazi salute when he was celebrating Trump's inauguration. While lots of people have very strong opinions about what happened, here's something objective, leaving no room for interpretation, which Elon should be judged about. I'll explain.
Anger is justifiable, as Nazi and white supremacist groups celebrate Elon’s move. But it’s also time to look at the hypocrisy of those going after Elon while ignoring the constant drumbeat of Nazi salutes in “pro-Palestinian” rallies. In this episode, I talk you through numerous examples.
Plus, the people who have been virtually forgotten in the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas terrorists: those killed by the terrorists who are being released. They, and their families, should be getting media attention.
And is the media blowing it on coverage of Trump's executive orders? I explain what I’m looking into, and invite you to send in your thoughts.
