On Thursday, Issues & Insights<\/a> posted an article about the media’s ignoring the hostages that are currently being held by Hamas. President Biden invited the families of American hostages to the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

CNN\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that: \u201cRuby Chen, whose son Itay is a reservist missing since the militant group\u2019s October 7 attacks on Israel, said a number of the families of American hostages were in Washington, D.C., this week, and had reached out to the White House asking to attend the reception but were not invited. A White House spokesperson declined to comment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White House then scrambled to have these families meet President Joe Biden on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden isn\u2019t the only one who doesn\u2019t seem to care much about these hostages. The press has been weirdly quiet about their plight and seems content to wait for Biden to \u201cnegotiate\u201d their release. If they\u2019re even still alive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who are these hostages? Who are the families? What are they going through? It\u2019s possible there have been news reports telling the world about the seven American men and possibly one American woman who are being held captive by these murdering, butchering, raping terrorist thugs. But we couldn\u2019t find any. Even Biden\u2019s unbelievable invitation foul-up was given ho-hum treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is in stark contrast to other such stories, where the press devotes endless amounts of ink to personalizing and humanizing victims \u2014 if they\u2019re the right victim of the right sort of crime, that is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This media blackout is not for lack of trying by the families. USA Today notes that these families have a public relations firm representing them. And several told\u00a0CNN<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cthey wanted the international community \u2013 both governments and the Red Cross \u2013 to push more forcefully on behalf of their loved ones, to speak out against the terrible conditions they\u2019re experiencing and for their release.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where is the outrage?<\/p>\n
