The broadcast networks are accused of hiding Mahmoud Khalil's pro-Hamas message and showing sympathy towards him. Khalil is the leader of a protest group called Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD). The group has expressed support for Hamas and its violent actions, but the networks downplay this as mere Trump talking points. The networks also fail to mention that Khalil's supporters are radical leftists. The media's coverage of Khalil and his protests is seen as biased and lacking in factual information.
