THE ENEMY WITHIN: UChicago Prof, the Brother of a Convicted Iranian Spy, Says the ‘Only Hope for Peace Is the Power and Durability of Iranian Missiles:’ Alireza Doostdar is a member of the school’s Faculty for Justice in Palestine chapter.. “Justice in Palestine” is something Palestinian supporters should fear.

IF THEY’RE DELIBERATELY SERVING AS PROPAGANDA OUTLETS FOR THE ENEMY, ARE THEY LEGIT MILITARY TARGETS?

This sort of thing should be a much bigger scandal; indeed, outside activist pro-Israel circles, the fact that “mainstream” media has been serving as Hamas’s mouthpiece doesn’t seem to be a scandal at all. https://t.co/Dn4GiUHE7A

DECONSTRUCTING THE NYT: “The quote is presented in a context that feels intended to generate empathy for those who’ve been affected by the ‘increasingly aggressive raids.’ But that ‘landscaper’ — that is, person in the landscaping business — was, apparently, competing unfairly with anyone in that business who is dutifully following federal law and not hiring those in the country illegally.”

JOHN LUCAS: The Art of Propagandistic Headlines: Trump the warmonger? “The middle-of-the-road [sic] Wall Street Journal emphasizes that President Trump and his ‘threats’ against Iran are ‘bellicose.’ I am personally familiar with the precision with which editors of the Journal choose specific words. Headlines and such ledes are perhaps even more important than the remaining text, since as we all know, they form a reader’s first — and sometimes only — impression of the gist of the remaining article. So, what exactly were the very precise and astute editors of the Journal trying to convince us of with their choice of words?”
