By the way, I've haven't heard a peep out of Rachel all week so far on what's going on in the middle east. I'd love to get her take. Is this a topic she just doesn't cover or have I just failed to tune in at the right time?

I wonder if this report from two weeks ago is the last time she covered this story about Gaza. It was pretty brief at 5 minutes for such an important issue. She covered the conflict broadly and let correspondent Richard Engel do most of the talking. The major question she posed to him was whether Israel's mission was militarily "doable". It certainly wasn't nearly as lengthy, in-depth, or hard-hitting as her frequent coverage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Is this Gaza story just one she'd rather not cover, I wonder.

to provide the substance of her report, which she knew was and would be very important. It occurred at the beginning of this new piece of israel's aggression, so didn't contain the detail that a later piece would do. We shall see what she covers in the future.

All she had to do was ask the right question and then let him talk. Sucks being you Rand...

Calling people "haters" just for calling him out on his plagiarism and how he once opposed parts of the CR Act and his other past positions...he obviously doesn't want the media to do its job. He's too thin-skinned to ever be President.
