Rob Finnerty’s blunt assessment that Israel “never stood a chance” against a hostile media narrative is not hyperbole — it’s a sober description of how weeks of biased coverage can shape public opinion faster than soldiers can change a battlefield. On his show, Finnerty and guests laid bare the avalanche of negative reporting that has repeatedly framed Israel as the villain while downplaying or ignoring Hamas’s atrocities.
The polling fallout has been real and alarming: support for Israel among American voters has eroded as a steady drumbeat of one-sided stories replaces context with outrage. News reports highlighted polls showing growing skepticism about U.S. aid and sympathy for the Palestinian narrative, evidence that propaganda, not facts, is winning hearts and minds.
Concrete examples of media malpractice have been exposed on-air and on the stage of public diplomacy, with Israel and its defenders pointing to clearly misleading images and narratives pushed by major outlets. Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, appearing on conservative platforms, accused parts of the press of circulating “lies” and discredited photos that inflame global opinion against a nation fighting for survival.
This isn’t just about ratings or punditry — it’s about a life-or-death information war where Western elites and progressive activists cheer against an ally while excusing terror. Former White House officials and commentators on Finnerty’s program warned that President Biden’s hesitancy and the media’s bias combine to weaken Israel’s hand and reward jihadist savagery.
The practical consequences are stark: when the public narrative shifts away from who launched mass terror, policy follows, and Israel’s ability to finish the job that protects its citizens is constrained. Military reality and moral clarity are being undermined by a global PR campaign that treats Hamas as a legitimate resistance movement rather than the genocidal, Iran-backed terror group it is.
Conservative Americans must refuse to let our national conversation be hijacked by biased outlets and virtue-signaling elites who prefer narratives over facts. That means amplifying the truth about Hamas, holding the media accountable for demonstrable errors, and demanding that elected leaders keep faith with an indispensable ally.
This is more than a foreign-policy debate — it’s a test of character for a free people who claim to value truth and courage. Stand with Israel, call out the lies, and remember that in a world awash with misinformation, patriots must be its most determined fact-checkers.
