MEDIA WATCH

Albawaba: Anatomy of a News Report on Palestine by Les Blough

The following analysis examines a typical news report on Palestine by the corporate media. In the report, a Reuters reporter, Eli Berelzon, writes a story of a Palestinian soldier attacking the Israeli army and killing two Israeli soldiers. It is a story of what appears to be a successful Palestinian military operation against the Israeli Army ... but it’s not presented that way - not at all. You may think, “But Eli only reported the facts!�. Ah, but how were they presented?

“It’s not enough for journalists to see themselves as mere messengers without understanding the hidden agendas of the message and the myths that surround it� - John Pilger.
