“Who do you think is closer to the mass expression when it comes to Israel: myself or Jake Tapper? Someone over at Drop Site News or someone over at CNN and MSNBC?”
➤ Hasan Piker says mainstream media’s “permission structure” gives wide latitude to the right while treating much of left-wing thought as dangerous or unserious.
➤“On the left, there is an entire mountain of thought that doesn’t get any airtime, is not considered serious, and is only covered cynically,” he says.
➤ Piker argues mainstream coverage on certain topics, like Israel-Palestine, is “totally out of step” with public opinion, driving audiences toward independent media.
➤ He describes the surge of attacks on him, DSA and the left as a “disciplining operation” meant to separate media figures from the voters after left media became an “undeniable force” and began winning against corporate interests and establishment Democrats.

The biggest mass funeral in Gaza was held this week for 112 people (including 44 children) that were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential block in 2023.
Their bodies were only recently recovered from the rubble in an operation that spanned across two weeks.
