Liam Cosgrove maybe shouldn’t expect any more invitations to the briefing room, but it had to be said
A journalist has finally told the US government’s professional genocide apologist Matthew Miller what the right-thinking world thinks: the US (and its poodles) are abetting rogue state Israel’s genocide of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians – and when Miller brushed him off and tried to move on, Liam Cosgrove did it again, telling Miller, “People are sick of the bullshitting”:
Update: A fuller version has been posted by the Grayzone, for which Cosgrove writes:
It may well mean that Cosgrove shouldn’t expect any further press passes for the White House or State Department briefing rooms, but it was genuine journalism – and it had to be said.

Here’s a short video to illustrate. Miller does not look happy :
It’s been a long time coming but guess that’s what real journalism looks like.
Holding Truth To Power.
Just did a search re >Liam Cosgrove< and one of the results was The Grayzone in which it says the following:
Liam Cosgrove is a Washington DC correspondent for The Grayzone. His writing has appeared in publications including ZeroHedge, the Brownstone Institute and The Federalist.
Needless to say the MSM (in the UK and Europe and the US etc) won't be reporting on this, but the following outlets have.
Arab News, with vid (1min 34ses):
Liam Cosgrove criticized Matt Miller for US hypocrisy on its Middle East conflict stance

Pravda with short vid (26secs):

Oh, I see that a couple of people posted whilst I was doing a search (there were none when I initially came on here and read the article. Anyway:
Middle East Monitor with vid:
Journalist tells US: ‘People are sick of your b******t’

I see that George has already posted a link to the vid on youtube….
But my main reason for coming on to Skwawkbox was to post this from last month, which I came across yesterday when I did a search re the Nova Music Festival:
Report shows IDF’s silence on fears ahead of Nova, failure to react as massacre unfolded
On the eve of the Supernova music festival on October 7, the security professionals responsible for the event repeatedly asked for information about a potential terror threat from Gaza, and were rebuffed by senior IDF commanders, according to a television report on Sunday.
Deputy Superintendent Nivi Ohana of the nearby Ofakim police station, who oversaw security for the event, even asked the military explicitly about a potential terrorist infiltration, according to the Channel 12 report, and did not receive a response.
The 24-minute TV exposé included details from documents in the days leading up to the event showing expressions of concern from the festival’s security team, communications between police and the military during the massacre, and recently released footage of fighting during the invasion.
On October 6, senior IDF officers even held several late-night meetings about the situation — as has previously been reported — but in none of the discussions did anyone bring up the Supernova party, according to Channel 12.
“Israel Police received no indication that anything was taking place. Maybe if we had been a part of [the discussions], we could at least have made a decision to shut down the party,” Azulai said.

Hmm, I wonder why he didn’t receive a response from the senior IDF commanders et al??!
AMAZING 08 Oct Story in Times of Israel. Thanks Alan
It’s not only bullshit from the US spokesman.
In the UK, there is only one permitted narrative in respect of Ukraine and the Middle East.
It has been one continuous stream of bullshit for one year in respect of Israel and over two and a half years for Ukraine.
Perhaps I ought to say – We’ve been fed a life-time diet of B/S in respect of Palestine/Israel.
We’ve also been fed a lifetime diet of B/S in respect of the “evil Russians”.
Perhaps it’s time that the UK subjects were allowed to grow up.
Pity there’s too few journalists willing to speak truth to power.
