The Wrap Compares ICE Raids to Anne Frank’s Plight

by

The Wrap has done a better job covering the rise of antisemitism than its competitors.

That’s not saying much, but it matters.

The outlet featured both “Screams Before Silence” and “October 8,” chilling documentaries linking them to the brutality of Hamas. However, many other outlets chose not to cover “Silence” at all, even though it was accessible on YouTube.

Mainstream Media, in general, has understated the recurring instances of anti-Semitic attacks in Western societies, ranging from universities to creative fields where artists are silenced. Notably, several Hollywood news platforms have chosen to ignore Jewish-related incidents, such as those involving Michael Rapaport, Matisyahu, and writer-actor Brett Gelman, who have faced cancellations over the past few months.

Making any advancement in this field is significant. However, TheWrap.com unfortunately missed the mark, and its readers, with its immigration-focused article.

The framing below is nothing short of ghoulish.

For approximately 24 hours, the story and its context have been posted. The reaction from readers has been quite strong.

Others used language ebaster.ru prefers not to share whenever possible. The rage is justified.

Why might an outlet that’s been reporting on the disturbing rise of antisemitism resort to such a deplorable act? The explanation is straightforward and unfortunate.

President Donald Trump.

In more straightforward terms, many media outlets based in Hollywood are openly aligning with the opposition to President Trump, which is why there’s been an increase in articles recommending movies that tackle anti-fascist themes across various platforms.

If you’re seeking something to inspire optimism at this moment, be aware that a similar source, Indiewire from the Left spectrum, has been known for overlooking numerous instances of attacks on free speech and expression during the Biden administration.

Still, employing an Anne Frank reference in news reporting appears to be a regrettable and questionable practice for journalists today. Regrettably, it may appear outdated or trivial in just a few months, given the current state of journalistic ethics during the Trump era.
