In Boulder, Colorado, a peaceful pro-Israel event was set ablaze—literally. Molotov cocktails rained down. An elderly Holocaust survivor was burned. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, reportedly screamed “This will end when Palestine is free” and “End Zionists” before unleashing incendiary chaos on citizens peacefully rallying for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
This wasn’t a protest. It was a premeditated, ideologically driven act of terrorism. And for once, the Federal Bureau of Investigation—under the leadership of Director Kash Patel—is calling it exactly that.
Unlike past years where the FBI often tiptoed around obvious ideological motives—sometimes labeling clearly intentional acts of violence as “random” or “spontaneous”—this time, there was no mincing of words. The FBI flatly declared the Boulder assault a “targeted terror attack.”

And the fallout has been seismic. Not from conservatives. Not from victims’ families. But from the corporate media—the very institutions that spent years insisting “words matter,” but now can’t bring themselves to use the “T-word” when Jewish civilians are the ones being burned.
Over at CNN, disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe resurfaced to challenge the “terror” label. Yes, the same McCabe who was fired for “lack of candor” under oath. The same McCabe who once stood at the heart of the politically motivated Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Now, he’s back—this time to explain why a man setting Jews on fire while yelling pro-Hamas slogans shouldn’t automatically be labeled a terrorist.
On NBC and CBS News, the framing was equally bizarre. Vague headlines, cautious language, and a palpable avoidance of stating the obvious: a politically motivated attack targeted Jews in broad daylight on American soil.
As commentator Guy Benson put it, this isn’t just bias—it’s “anti-journalism.” A willful distortion of facts in service of ideological narrative management.
MSNBC’s Boulder coverage also soils the bed: Former U.S. Rep. Max Rose laments that Republicans might blame “anti-semitism on the left” for the guy throwing Molotovs at Jews marching in support of hostages still held by Hamas.

If this attack had been committed by a white man yelling about migrants, we’d already have FBI press conferences, think pieces, emergency alerts, and candlelight vigils coordinated by national networks. But when the targets are Jews, and the perpetrator an illegal immigrant shouting leftist slogans, the media suddenly retreats into ambiguity.
This is part of a broader problem—violence against Jews is either ignored or reframed if it doesn’t align with the political preferences of the press. For years, Jewish Americans have watched as anti-Israel rhetoric bleeds into violent action, and yet they’re told to “understand the nuance,” or worse, that they’re part of the problem.
