Oh, and more than a million Uyghurs despatched to internment camps and prisons in China. Wonder why Guterres has solely seen deaths in Gaza …

“What . . . if I had said . . . Fox News, you’re out of here? It’s unimaginable!” — Barack Obama, Sept. 18
We say: No need to “imagine”; it’s a matter of historic file: Obama’s administration did attempt to restrict Fox News’ press entry, albeit on a smaller degree than President Trump’s latest ban on CNN, Politico and MS NOW.
