I was contemplating writing a Substack about how you don't see CNN's Clarissa Ward in Gaza, but only a team of al-Jazeera reporters instead, risking life and limb. This article pre-corrects what I would have mis-written, so Big Thanks! Of course, Palestinians are merely "dying," not being indiscriminately killed by US-backed Israeli bomb strikes. IDF no doubt were well aware of Ward's assignment, probably OK'd it, and deliberately "non-targeted" her location. All said, CNN's coverage of Gaza still doesn't hold a candle to al-Jazeera's; translation: More people are watching al-Jazeera English than CNN--so send in the Clarissa Ward to Save the Ratings!

Excellent. Plus, I think the desperation of elites is starting to show in this CNN hustle for the hearts and minds of the public. As is Genocide Joe declaring he’s a Zionist. As if we didn’t know.

100% true! They're a little slow at CNN, but they finally got the "memo" that al-Jazeera is "scooping" them like nobody's business, so they sent Clarissa in, who's an expendable asset based on her time served with the company, benefits accrued. She survived her foray into Gaza based on pre-arranged visit with IDF, who no doubt had exclusive rights on her report. Framing, framing, framing: the Genocide's all in the Framing. Joe Biden, by the way, could be on Traflamadore for all he knows, old Zionist Joe...

Yeah, but considering CNN's shortcomings, not too bad. Ever listen to FOX on this issue?

Thanks for asking, my friend🙂

I have bad days and decent days. Trying to occupy my mind with some home improvement projects since gardening season is long gone. I miss being outdoors; mostly I miss my sweet mare.

How about yourself, Fran?

Who is sweet mare? I also garden, big time. front, back and sides of the house. I miss it too. Not to mention going to garden shops and buying flowering plants.

My Morgan mare, Angelina. She passed away not long ago at age 29.

I never knew how much having her distracted me from the fuckeries of life until she was gone 😢

She was my best friend and confidante.

Mondoweiss has a correspondent in Gaza risking life and limb to get the word out.

I’m a modest monthly contributor. If you are able to as well, please do!
