Cenk Uygur on Media's Laura Loomer Double Standard

Jun 20, 2026

A furious takedown of US media and politicians for shielding pro-Israel figures while attacking critics — framed as bad news for free speech and anyone who criticizes Israel.

  • Laura Loomer is described as a paid operative funded by wealthy backers to push propaganda and get critics fired.
  • The claim: only Israel's critics get investigated, deported, or arrested, while pro-Israel figures face no scrutiny.
  • Big money is the engine — Larry Ellison allegedly funneled millions to Marco Rubio, and Miriam Adelson gave Trump hundreds of millions across election cycles.
  • US media is accused of gaslighting the public, treating Israelis as a protected class and smearing critics as anti-semites.
  • The anger is personal — feeling lied to for years about Israel's history, by schools and by the press.

Outlook: No change expected — the message is that media and politicians will keep applying the double standard, so trust them as little as possible.
