But instead of making U.S. hostages the story and burning the images of them into people’s brains, the press spends most of its time and energy describing the plight of the poor Gazan people and parroting Hamas talking points.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration keeps mouthing platitudes about how it is doing everything in its power to bring these Americans home.
[But only on rare occasions when Biden and his team get pressed on it. They snubbed the hostage families when they requested invitations to the White House Hanukkah event, and that coverage *did* force the White House to set up a private meeting instead. The media won’t press Biden on it because he’s clearly not prioritizing the American hostages in his “brokering” of swaps, and pressing Biden would make that obvious. I’ve written about that a few times since the first deal took effect. — Ed]
