The Free Press is determined to whitewash Israel's despicable, inhumane conduct on Gaza.

Shame on Weiss.

The contrast between The Free Press’s “Google investigation” and this on-the-ground reporting is staggering. Journalism should amplify truth, not justify neglect. Kudos to Drop Site for doing the work others won’t.

are Weiss and any of her journalists actually reporters or are they merely megaphones for Israeli aggression?

If journalism’s role is to hold power accountable, then why does so much of Weiss’s reporting seem to shield Israeli actions from serious critique? That’s not reporting — that’s narrative management.

I think we are seeing a lot of narrative management by those in a position that necessitates they should be honest about it and they are not. Like i’m thinking of David Frum too. It’s unfortunate, i think in these times journalism itself is being called into question.

At some point we need to consider that we stopped being the good guys a good while ago.

Lets go back and see when was it that we were the good guys. I am willing to bet that I was not born yet and I am somewhat of an old man now.

It’s one of my favorite questions for the MAGA crowd: when exactly was this period of “greatness”?

I just ordered a copy of *Enshittification*, by Cory Doctorow, in which he describes in detail the degradation of various social media platforms, into the racist, xenophobic, toxic platforms they are today. I guess, with Bari Weiss at the helm, we can add CBS to the list of enshittified platforms.

Don't kid yourself - CBS has always been shit.

Perhaps we wouldn't be in this fascist cesspool if they hadn't been manufacturing consent for their entire existence.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I remember, though, when LBJ said, "If I've lost Walter Cronkite, I've lost the war," back when a few on mainstream media, Cronkite, for instance, were still practicing journalism in the public interest.

We got the Pentagon Papers, but do you think we'll ever see the Epstein files? Not a chance.

"Some of the thousands of kids we wanted to kill were sick already, so it's perfectly fine that we killed them. And their parents. And blew up the hospitals. And schools. And everything else.

"See, the problem with The Holocaust wasn't that 7 million people were murdered by racists.

"The problem was they were killing the wrong people!"

- Bari Weiss, speaking to herself, when she lies awake at night, wondering if trying to whitewash the murder of children in incubators makes her a monster.

I don't think Bari lies awake at night. She's an arrogant woman convinced that she, and only she,speaks the truth.

In reality she's a woman from a privileged background with fixed beliefs and a very limited intellect.

She also lacks a moral compass.

If Weiss had one she would have to recognize that people with chronic medical conditions are especially vulnerable to thr inhumane denial of humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza strip. A newborn, a child with an esophageal problem, a man with cerebral palsy-all were going to be damaged by the Israeli government's decision to go scorched earth on Gaza.

Bari is like the IDF soldiers - brainwashed. A Jewish upbringing in the U.S. usually entails pledging allegiance to Israel and believing the lies that everyone is trying to kill you.

She knows she's a monster. She doesn't care about that. She has no standards. She is just evil.

We need to save these images and stories for when they will allow freedom in our nation so that we can open a Palestinian Holocaust museum.

Bari Weiss, the Ellisons and their barbaric, immoral zionists are not only complicit in a horrific genocide, they are endangering jews everywhere. The blatant, intentional pretzel logic insinuating these children would be fine if only they weren't disabled literally makes me nauseous. My daughter was born with multiple disabilities, and I can't imagine her thriving into the radiant adult she is now without access to simple nutrition, nevermind medical care. How has it come to be that amoral beings rule our media, finance and governance? Thank you, DropSite, for the deep dives and heartbreaking reality checks.

As far as Israeli's admitted blockade of food for infants, it does not matter if they are born with a "condition:" or not, the blocking of food for infants, children, teens or adults, with the goal of starvation, and blocking of food and water aide, is wrong. Millions of children are born with conditions or special needs. This is not a death sentence it is a condition that needs food and treatment. The preventable death from lack of life's needed food and water, when such items are available near by and their delivery blocked, are a war crime.

it is stunning to see how low smear campaigners are ready to stoop to discredit TRUTH tellers. every now and then i wonder: 'do they actually, really! believe all the stuff they feed the gullible?' or do they just smirk every time they succeed in casting lasting doubt on very sound reporting?

if it wasn't for outlets like drop site news, i'd be miserably dis-, mis- and ill informed!

THANK YOU for taking all the time and trouble to provide us with reliable information on and analyses of what goes on, what goes wrong and what - at times - goes right around the globe!

Bari Weiss is a criminal, plain and simple. She is an asshole.

It is amazing, the depths she would sink to because of her racism.

She is worse than that woman who filmed Triumph of the Will.

I hope that, someday, she will answer for her crimes.

She and both of the Ellisons.

The Zionists burnt a key sewage treatment plant in Gaza. They burnt homes.

They stated their intent to erase the memories of everyone in Gaza.

And this disgusting woman is determined to ensure that the stories of the victims of her Nazi style supremacist movement will never be told.

And once again, the NYTimes is assisting in the work of genocide.

So according to Weiss whatever you find in Google searches counts as journalism?

thanks ryan! the fp story is just kind of misinformation that spreads and spreads. though it's hard to get through to people. at least i can point people to this if they 'point out' that there wasn't really a famine.....great work.

Thank you for your tireless work to expose these Israeli propagandists. This crew will be heavily boycotted, TikTok too. I can’t wait for their profits and viewership to fall, Americans have seen Israel for what it is and no amount of lies will change that.

War leaders should imagine the possibility of this happening to their kids,

Hopefully they wouldn't do this to these kids

I can’t handle what is happening to the Palestinians but what is happening to the children is more than a mother can bear.

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in. Then on to the West Bank to end the occupation and apartheid.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?
