An analysis of ten prominent U.S. news organizations found that terms concerning Jewish safety appeared 254 times over three years, while Muslim or Arab safety appeared only six times.

A survey of the 10 most popular media outlets in the United States (New York Times, Washington Post, USAToday, Politico, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN.com and CNN cable news and MSNBC/MSNOW) shows that “Jewish safety” and its variants have been mentioned roughly 42 times more than “Muslim/Arab safety” and its variants—at 254 mentions versus 6, over…
Coordinated security hoaxes have triggered military scrambles and office evacuations across the continent, forcing emergency services to divert multiple passenger planes and inspect major newsrooms. Investigators are probing whether the disruptive warnings constitute psychological warfare or state-linked hybrid aggression intended to sow panic. While all subsequent searches yielded no actual explosives, the widespread operations reflect heightened anxiety among European intelligence agencies.
Emboldened by recent midterm election victories, congressional Democrats are mobilizing investigative committees to probe deep ties between the administration and prominent corporate allies.
