From New York, this is Democracy Now.

Again and again, the Israeli government and its supporters in the West tell brazen, shameless lies about the war, and so again and again we must call out those

dangerous and deadly lies even if others in our media won't.

As the death toll in Gaza tops 31,300, we'll look at how the US media is covering

Israel's assault on Gaza. We'll be joined by the acclaimed broadcaster Medi Hassan.

He left MS NBC earlier this year

after his shows were cancelled.

Then to Tik-Tok.

The US House has passed a bill that could lead to the banning of the social media

app, Tik-Tok.

This new act which would potentially ban Tik-Tok in the United States is a huge mistake because it

doesn't deal with the real issue which is that social media companies of all types

are actually targeting us for our data, our exploiting our attention,

are threatening our democracy,

and turning our economics rights.

Instead of that, this act actually

is just targeting foreign actors

and is playing to nationalism and xenophobia.

We'll speak to UCLA Professor Ramesh Shrinovasan.

All that and more coming up. Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.

The War and Peace Report.

I mean me good thing.
