NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck made his return Friday to the Fox News Channel for Fox News @ Night and, on the docket, Houck and host Trace Gallagher lambasted The Washington Post for their “ludicrous” and “farcical” “surrender[ing]” to pro-Hamas voices by taking down a cartoon slamming Hamas, The New York Times giving fashion advice to pro-Hamas protesters, and hundreds of journalists for signing a letter demanding media coverage take on an anti-Israel tone.

Correspondent Jackie Ibanez first brought viewers up to speed about the cartoon that “depict[ed] Hamas spokesperson, saying ‘how dare Israel attack civilians’ while a frightened looking woman several small children and a baby are shown tied to his body.”

With that, Gallagher pivoted to Houck and read more from Shipley, who claimed taking it down was in “the spirit of opinion journalism, to move imperfectly toward a constructive exchange of ideas at all possible speed, listening, and learning along the way."
