The father of a girl Hamas is holding hostage in Gaza was interviewed on "CBS This Morning," and a member of the media covered that profession in more embarrassing glory.
CBS's Gayle King just couldn't help but push the "both sides" approach, even right to the face of a father who is dealing with a parent's nightmare. But at least Rashida Tlaib and AOC might appreciate King's approach here:
We'd say that's unbelievable except unfortunately it really isn't.
Here's the transcript from Newsbusters' @CurtisHouck:
Gayle King: Can you tell us what your life was like when you were living there on October 7? You like living in Israel.
Thomas Hand: Yes. It’s a difficult place to live. We’re constantly being bombarded by rockets, thousands and thousands and thousands of rockets for the last 20 years. The greatest movement towards peace that Israel ever did was we pulled out of Gaza. You know, Israel has never made such a big step towards peace, and it got us nothing. They didn’t make even a little baby step back to go towards peace.
King: But now, this seems to be all about politics. What do you say about that? You know, you have innocent children — Palestinians who are dying, innocent Israeli children who are dying, and no one seems to be able to say enough, stop that.
Hand: I’m not interested in politics at all. My only concern is getting Emily back, whatever that takes to get her back.
Tony Dokoupil: Thank you for being here, Thomas, for keeping her name in our minds and the attention focused as it should be on their release. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I can barely talk to you because I think about my own daughter and I think about —
Hand: It’s a living nightmare. It is hell. Hell on earth.
King's remarks were just gross.
Patricia Heaton was appalled:
Just disgusting.
That's said often but can't be repeated enough.
A lot of parents in that situation might have reacted to King's remarks a little more -- well, let's just say "unfavorably."
