CNN bans commentator Ryan Girdusky from appearing on network after Mehdi Hasan-attack.
TOI Correspondent from Washington: The argument on whether some American rightwingers deserved to be called Nazis was already heated when a liberal guest said he was a supporter of the Palestinian cause and he's used to being called anti-semite. "Well, I hope your beeper does not go off," snapped the rightwing MAGA guest. There was a moment's stunned silence on the panel as the import of remark sank in; it was a reference Israel's infamous targeted killing of alleged Hamas operatives using remote triggered explosives in beepers. "Did you just say I should die?...Are you a racist violent person inciting violence against me?" the liberal commentator Trump says he's 'opposite of a Nazi' as toxic MSG rally poisons America The rightwing media sees it differently, often railing against a MSM they say is dominated by liberals (an established fact) wheeling out narratives that are seldom challenged. The characterization of the Trump rally in MSG as a "neo-Nazi" gathering and Trump as a "fascist" is the latest flashpoint in this battle. Unable to make much headway in the msm, MAGA commentators have now platformed themselves in social media, with algorithms ensuring that the MAGA faithful largely get to hear only their version of news and events, just as the liberal commentariat is getting to do. Lost in this deeply polarized America -- the middle ground, which is fast disappearing into a chasm.
