Description:

A self-described exposition of how the “foreign policy interests of American political elites — working in combination with Israeli public relations strategies — exercise a powerful influence over news reporting about the Middle East conflict.” Directors Raztkoff and Jhally skillfully merge U.S. and British television news clips with annotations of journalists, pundits and political activists to provide “an historical overview, a striking media comparison, and an examination of factors that have distorted U.S. media coverage and, in turn, American public opinion.”

Featuring interviews with: Seth Ackerman, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Hanan Ashrawi, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Neve Gordon, Hussein Ibish, Robert Jensen, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Gila Svirsky, and others.
