TV News Cuts Trump's Boasting — Not His Israel Policy
The Independent reports that CBS's '60 Minutes' cut footage of Donald Trump gushing over Bari Weiss and boasting about a settlement payout. While networks carefully curate what makes air, the constant media omission revolves around US-Israel policy. For instance, the corporate press rarely, if ever, highlights that Trump also moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018, defying decades of
international consensus, or how his administration brokered the Abraham Accords by ignoring Palestinian rights altogether. These aren't just 'boasts'; they’re policy choices impacting millions. One might wonder if the concern over a Trumpian 'gaffe' conveniently overshadows uncomfortable truths about unwavering US support for Israeli actions, regardless of who's in the Oval Office. When does
'editorial judgment' simply become propaganda by omission?
