‘Did Your Guest Just Say I Should Be Killed On Live TV?!’ Mehdi Hasan Can’t Believe What CNN Panelist Just Said to Him
Hasan had opined that if people on the right did not want to be called "Nazis," they should refrain from behaviors that could be construed as anti-Semitic.
CNN put out a statement and Abby Philip released a clip:

Girdusky is doubling down saying it was a joke:
You're viewing a single thread.
This article is terrible. It doesn't mention that the beeper attack was a terrorist attack that killed and injured numerous civilians, including women and children.
- This wasn't what this article was about, so it doesn't need to take a position on the pager attack itself.
- This article links to articles about the pager attack that fills in all the details you claim were missing, you just have to read (hard, I know).
I feel like every time there's a story posted that's even tangentially related to Israel, there's some Lemmy user in the comments ready to complain that the article wasn't written with their preferred anti-Israel slant...
At some point, we just have to accept that you're complainIng for the sake of complaining, not for the sake of adding anything to the conversation. You seem more interested in being heard signalling virtue than actually saying something of value.
There's a whole pullquote describing the beeper attack, and it doesn't even include the word "terrorist"
Its not a slant to describe a terrorist attack as a terrorist attack. Its called being objective and reporting facts.
Again, this is not a story about the pager attack, this is a story about an interaction that happened on CNN. It's from Mediate, a website that focuses on meta news about journalism. Covering geopolitics isn't even their focus.
It doesn’t mention that the beeper attack was a terrorist attack
CNN anchors were practically bragging about how surgical and sophisticated the act was when it occurred. Nevermind the collateral damage, it's actually incredibly cool when you circulate bombs through a civil population in an effort to cripple one Iranian diplomat.
