Israel’s War on Gaza: Media Complicity? | Bigger Than Five

The media's role in wartime is fraught with the consequences of biased reporting. This has been highlighted once more during Israel’s assault on Gaza. A recent report found pro-Israeli sources are quoted far more often, and go unchallenged, in comparison to Palestinian sources. British activist Fiona Lali tells Ghida Fakhry mainstream media is ‘completely complicit’ in covering up Israel’s crimes and allowing politicians to repeat lies. Investigative Journalist Jeremy Scahill says the powerful media outlets are panicking and ‘they know their days are numbered’ because people are increasingly turning away.
