This past week, a failed assassination attempt produced an iconic image of former President Donald Trump. The clenched fist was a masterclass in taking a dangerous moment and turning it to one’s political advantage.

Could that image of Trump - resistant in the face of an assassin’s bullets - carry him to the White House, or will it be the media buzz that accompanies the selection of a new Democratic presidential candidate?

On our radar:

As Israel seeks to extend a ban on Al Jazeera’s operations in the country, this week communications minister Shlomo Karhi made an explosive (and false) allegation against the network. Tariq Nafi has been following the story.

Open source journalism in Israel's war on Gaza

The bombing of Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City -  just ten days after Hamas’ October 7th attacks - was a harbinger of the horrors that were to come, as well as the denial, deflection, and disinformation that would surround them.

The reporting that followed seemed to point in different directions - some would substantiate the Israeli narrative, that a rocket launched by Hamas was to blame, while others proved that theory false. The Listening Post examined what happened at Al-Ahli, and what it tells us about the strengths and shortcomings of open-source journalism.

    I think that it is funny that right after they slam trump and his fake news quote, aljazeera does a feature on fake news.

  • "I said: 'Get me President Bush on the phone,'" Olmert said in a speech in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. "They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn't care: 'I need to talk to him now.' He got off the podium and spoke to me." - Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert in 2009 Source: Jerusalem Post, NYTimes, Reuters, etc.

  • Al Jazeera truly does a good journalistic job when it comes to other parts of the world. But when it comes to the country or kingdom of it's owner, they turn a blind eye. Good work!!
  • @grahamashe9715
    Al Jazeera should cover in detail what Islamic sources like the Koran and Hadeeth teach. Especially about the Jews.

    "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." - Matthew 24:24 Just a biblical reminder for all those republican 'believers'. 😏
