Judy Woodruff last night about Trump and Netanyahu

[LiberalArkie]

I don't know man, you'd think reporting by a well-established journo like Judy Woodruff (at about the 30 second mark) that Trump is telling Bibi not to sign a cease fire agreement would be the kind of thing that might garner some follow up among her colleagues in the media

1. Outrageous

That the media ignores Trump’s undermining our country's diplomatic efforts - inexcusable

[Liberal In Texas]

2. He should be prosecuted under the Logan Act.

This foreign policy meddling he does needs to stop. Too bad we don't have an AG with guts.

[kacekwl]

19. Does someone

Have to actually call the police and file a complaint or does the DOJ pay attention to this stuff ? Seriously what does it take ?

[ALBliberal]

3. Trump all in service of himself.

Whatever lamentations our amazing President might have about not running will be nothing compared to the JOY of pounding Trump into the dustbin of disgraceful history!!

[rubbersole]

4. Bibi's damage to Israel's reputation is generational.

Repairing it seems impossible at this point.

[jaxexpat]

17. 2024 Israel is proof of inevitable failure when a minority of citizens control the reins of any government.

same proof as the Bush minority vs Gore's majority and Trump's minority victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Has those two abortions of democracy been avoided; Israel would not be in the "bad guy" seat Bebe has put them. In the absence of an "actual fact of American Justice" on the planet, many have suffered and died needlessly. Many have been cheated of their life's chance as the weed of anarchy infests places where the hope of Democracy once took root, all to satisfy the peculiar pursuits of a moneyed American minority.

18. 👆👆👆

What he said...

[Cheezoholic]

5. This is definitely in the repuke bag-o-tricks (Nixon/Reagan). I'd like to see it fact checked/investigated n/t

[mtngirl47]

16. Yep, it's in the handbook that they're given when they join the cult.

Good luck with a fact check....Bibi will lie and Trump will lie.

[H2O Man]

6. Recommended.

This is so important. I think that most intelligent people are aware of it, but that leaves the majority of Americans.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

9. Think about how stupid the average American is

Then realize half of them are stupider than that!- George Carlin

It explains a lot about Trump’s ability to remain as a viable candidate.

[elleng]

7. Thank for the info; I missed it, as didn't watch PBS last night after NewsHour.

I suspect many others also missed it.

Time is NOW to catch up with all sorts of 'details' such as this.

[RussellCattle]

8. I had a "did I just hear that right" moment when she said that. Good Lord, I don't want to hear about....

.....Trump's malfeasance more than I have to, but come on, pick up the ball and run with that one, please.

[BaronChocula]

10. Media malpractice aside

How well does that bode for an already abysmally unpopular Netanyahu to continue playing games while lives of hostages are on the line?

[MoseShrute]

11. Wow

If that proves to be true, Pres Biden should call bibi and tell him that if he talks to FatNixon again we won’t give him one more bullet. And then go after donOld pursuant to the Logan Act. What the hell is Merick Garland doing about this?

[kacekwl]

20. Yes Yes Yes

If true he should be executed.

[former9thward]

22. The Logan Act is 225 years old.

Can you tell us anyone who has ever been successfully prosecuted?

[CanonRay]

28. Garland? Nothing, of course.

[ananda]

12. And this is not treason because...

I can't think of a reason.

[former9thward]

21. A couple reasons. It never happened.

1. It never happened. She has apologized on X for misreporting.

2. Treason only applies in war. We are not a war with anyone.

[iemanja]

23. We are funding Israel's war

Which involves us in war.

[former9thward]

24. Not legally.

We fund wars all over the globe. And we have been doing that since the end of WW II. That does not mean we are at war legally.

And it turns out it never happened.

PBS' Judy Woodruff apologizes for an on-air remark about peace talks in Israel

Veteran PBS correspondent Judy Woodruff apologized on Wednesday for comments she had made on the air regarding former President Donald Trump and negotiations for a cease-fire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.

Woodruff, during PBS' Democratic national convention coverage on Monday, repeated a story she had read in Axios and Reuters that Trump had allegedly been encouraging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to put off peace talks until after the U.S. election in the belief that a deal could help Democrat Kamala Harris' campaign.

But Woodruff said in a post on X Wednesday that she had not seen later reporting that the story had been denied by the Trump campaign and Israel. She said her remarks had not been based on any original reporting on her part.

“This was a mistake, and I apologize for it,” Woodruff said.

[iemanja]

25. You have a point on the war

That you put such credence in the word of Trump and Bibi is absurd. I'll take Reuters and Axios over those sociopaths any day.

[former9thward]

26. They have offered no proof.

Don't you think that is strange?

[iemanja]

27. How do you know that?

[former9thward]

29. I read the story.

No proof offered.

[iemanja]

30. which story? The one you just linked to?

That wasn't Reuters or Axios.

[former9thward]

31. Reuters just quoted Axios.

Axios has pulled their story from their website.

[iemanja]

33. I expect we'll find out more about this in weeks to come.

[iemanja]

32. Axios says it has two US sources who were briefed on the call

https://www.axios.com/2024/08/15/trump-netanyahu-gaza-hostage-ceasefire-deal-call
though I can't find the original article.

journalists have sources. Courts of law demand proof.
