When even former Israel lobbyist and AIPAC member Wolf Blitzer thinks you’ve gone too far, you may want to stop and think about the genocide you’re committing.

After Israel repeatedly bombed a Gaza refugee camp, known to be one of the most densely-populated areas in the world, state media broadcasters at CNN are having trouble continuing to cover for the occupier.

But even as the attacks multiply and countless people around the world march in protest against Israel’s massacre of Palestinians, corporate media and elite celebrities are still clinging to their talking points. A bipartisan coterie of pundits and lawmakers like Hakeem Jeffries, Nikki Haley, and Tulsi Gabbard monopolized the airwaves this week with warmongering, Islamophobic, tone deaf tirades all in a last ditch effort to sway public sympathy back to the empire.

Luckily, Useful Idiots Katie and Aaron are ready as ever to throw down against the tidal wave of corporate BS and smack a little sense back into our increasingly-crazy news media. Stick with them, and hopefully you’ll be able to laugh at all the terrible stuff we’ve been crying about.

It’s our Thursday bonus episode. Let us know in the comments what corporate media monologues, interviews, or anything else you want to see on the next Thursday Throwdown.
