Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says indefensible things now and again, but what is most interesting about her is how she manages to highlight the media's hypocrisy about its own conduct.
On Monday, Greene visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and apologized for comparing coronavirus restrictions to Nazi laws imposed on Jews. Her visit and apology were appropriate.
Leading news outlets, including the Washington Post and Reuters, tried to make her apology about other remarks. The Post complained that she compared Democrats to Nazis (something the Post does all the time with Trump and Republicans), and Reuters complained that she defended Trump for allegedly saying that white supremacists in Charlottesville were "very fine people" -- which he did not say. In fact, Trump said that the neo-Nazis and white supremacists ought to be "condemned totally."
The Charlottesville lie has become known as the "very fine people" hoax. It was comprehensively destroyed in the second impeachment trial. It's amazing -- or not? -- that a congressional reporter for Reuters continues to flog the hoax. But it shows how little accountability there is for the media.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
