Western media bias makes Israeli war on Palestinians possible - Arab News

While US and Western mainstream and corporate media remain biased in favor of Israel, they often behave as if they are a third, neutral party. This is simply not the case. Take The New York Times coverage of the latest Israeli war on Gaza as an example. The newspaper’s article on Aug. 6, “Israel-Gaza Fighting Flares for a Second Day,” is typical of mainstream Western reporting on Israel and Palestine, but with a distinct NYT flavor. For the uninformed reader, the article succeeds in finding a balanced language between two equal sides. This misleading moral equivalence is one of the biggest intellectual blind spots for Western journalists.
