Brotman: Soundbite-happy media gets ‘genocide’ wrong

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:29:24 GMT

Here’s what three-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo, who as “The Hulk” plays a prominent role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, posted on Twitter (now X) in 2021:“I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide.’ It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.”Sadly, Ruffalo recently headed to the front lines of opposing Israel’s move to a second phase of its war against Hamas in Gaza, which was initiated by that terror organization when at least 1,500 of its members crossed the border on Oct. 7.

Yet, Ruffalo is back on social media with a new version of uninformed analysis for more than 8 million devoted followers.As media in the United States and a...

According to Reason magazine, an estimated $136 billion — one-third of the money distributed — was sent to scammers. The statute instructed the SBA to refer all delinquent loans to the Treasury Department, “which has the authority to take steps the SBA cannot, like garnishing wages and foreclosing on property, in order to encourage repayment,” Reason reports...
