thepeoplesrecord: Here is a short list of a few of the hundreds of examples of the media intentionally manipulating the public to support Israel’s recent offensive against PalestiniansJuly 24, 2014 CNN journalist re-assigned from the region after tweeting that Israelis celebrating the death of civilians were scum. NBC journalist re-assigned after reporting too honestly on the situation on-the-ground. FOX News putting images of Gaza reduced to rubble with captions indicating (falsely) that it is damage done to Israel inflicted by Palestinian rockets. (image attached) The New York Times changing the headline about four children playing on the beach being killed by Israel to something that is intentionally vague/ambiguous. Diane Sawyer misidentifying photos of Palestinians in the conflict, claiming they are Israelis. MSNBC contributor Rula Jebreal calling out the network bias toward Israel and then having her TV appearances canceled as repercussion. Unfair coverage from the BBC which was protested widely in England. Please reblog or message with additions as you see/think of them and I will edit with the additions. I am sure we can create quite a large list of examples. -- source link
