Margaret Brennan: More extreme that extremist Sanders?

Some takeaways from Margaret Brennan on CBS' 'Face the Nation' 12/10/23. After Charlie D'Agata stressed that the "Israeli military insists there is a safe corridor, but the UN is just not using it," Brennan completely ignored this. Brennan also ignored the almost daily finds by the IDF of locations where Hamas (who narrates images out of Gaza) and other Jihadis use for weapons and where to fire from, including: children's rooms, teddy bear, UNRWA schools, etc. For quite sometime, Brennan quoted Sanders about aid to Israel and promoted his views, instead of acting as an objective journalist.  In this morning interview, Brennan kept on Sanders --who, of course has been some of the harshest anti-Israel critics-- why he is against the ceasefire with Hamas. Brennan even briefly called the infamous bigot Rashida Tlaib as "progressive." More extreme that extremist Sanders?

In a clear attempt to white wash --faslely-- stabbing rock throwing at Jews - civilians or not. Then he omitted that the IDF warned Gazans not to head north because its dangerous.

But BBC cynically avoided this, as per throughout Hamas endangering its population, for that matter. How about this report from Ynet [https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/hjtrgc6n6]: The IDF spokesman clarified in Arabic that the ceasefire is temporary, and announcers warned against returning to the northern Gaza Strip - but clashes broke out after some decided to return anyway: ...
