Often, writers at Daily Kos are left fuming about instances in which large media outlets seemingly skew the facts to preserve their sacred devotion to holding Democrats to an infinitely higher standard than Republicans. (Looking at you, New York Times.) So it seems only appropriate that when one of those outlets does something right, it should be recognized.
In Thursday’s coverage of visits to the southern border by both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, CNN didn’t just follow both and deliver bland language about competing messages. When Trump’s few minutes of talking were chock full o’ lies, CNN cut in and moved immediately to provide its audience with a real-time fact check.
This isn’t the first time CNN has done this. CNN’s past refusal to fully air one of his speeches so enraged Trump that he tried to have the company’s license revoked without seeming to realize that cable networks don’t need a license. But it’s always good to see the media treating the facts as important, so … hat tip.

The US has blocked a statement, put forward by Algeria and backed by all UNSC’s 15 members except the US, to the UN Security Council that would have condemned Israel for the killing of more than 100 Palestinians awaiting food aid in northern Gaza.
The US claimed it is trying to verify the “circumstances around how people died” to see if “we can find some language that everyone can agree on”.

For the 21st week in a row, the Yemeni masses gathered in all governorates for their million-man march in support of Palestine, this week under the title "You Are Not Alone...Steadfast With Gaza."
Protestors held up banners of Aaron Bushnell, the 25-year-old American soldier that self-immolated in front of the zionist embassy in Washington DC in support of Gaza.
The march organizers again reaffirmed the continuation of demonstrations and marches in support of Palestine, as well as the continuation of military mobilization and training, which has so far trained 237,000 new Yemeni soldiers.
They condemned the disgraceful stance and collusion of Arab regimes with the zionist entity, while praising the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces, asserting that they will not stop until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted.
Finally, they called for the continued boycott of American and zionist products.
