Summary
Don’t miss our recap of the craziest moments in corporate media: Watch this week’s Monday Mourning here: After a shooting outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, corporate media erupted in fights, with Republicans and CNN hosts alike pointing blame at Democrats for “using heated rhetoric” against President Trump. Meanwhile, there was no discussion on these shows of the girls’ elementary school that the US bombed in Iran, nor the hospitals in Palestine, nor the apartment buildings in Lebanon. Heated rhetoric, according to Israeli activists like CNN’s Dana Bash, only goes one way. Katie and Aaron sift through a dense slate of Sunday morning news shows, analyzing and debunking lies about the shooting as well as, you guessed it, more warmongering against Iran. It was a brutal one for us to watch. Like the YouTube stream or subscribe to us here on Substack to help support our work. Thanks for being part of the UI community! Join us! Join us! Join us!
