Does the news coverage reflect the reality on the ground?
Below are two documentaries about the American media spinning the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Interesting to see how things are portrayed in mainstream American media compared to the BBC.
How are these same basic principles are in-play for other topics and themes throughout the American news media?
Peace, Propaganda, and the Promised Land
This video shows how the foreign policy interests of American political elites-working in combination with Israeli public relations stratgies-influence US news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Combining American and British TV news clips with observations of analysts, journalists and political activists, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a brief historical overview, a striking media comparison, and an examination of factors that have distorted U.S. media coverage and, in turn, American public opinion.
The Occupation of the American Mind
An analysis of Israel’s decades-long battle for the hearts, minds, and tax dollars of the American people.
