Bad Faith’s Briahna Joy Gray, who was recently unceremoniously sacked from The Hill, enjoys an engaging and informative discussion with accomplished journalist, Sam Husseini whose calm persistence in the State Department’s press room is much appreciated and admired.
This is the description for the interview:
June 13, 2024
Independent journalist and bête noir of White House press flacks, Sam Husseini, returns to Bad Faith to breakdown the administrations narrative spin around who is really responsible for stalling a ceasefire deal that would bring an end to the carnage in Gaza.
Husseini reacts to Hasbara from Jake Tapper, and analyzes how hostages have been cynically weaponized by pro-Israel actors to generate sympathy for Israel's siege (and oust progressive news hosts), all while the families of hostages have been clear that they are far from Israel's priority. Husseini also discusses a new UN report out Wednesday that confirms that claims of mass rape on October 7th are completely unsubstantiated, but that Israel likely implemented the "Hannibal directive" against its own citizens, and enacted gross abuses, including sexual assaults, on Palestinian victims.
