Hundreds of former employees of Israel lobbying groups such as AIPAC, StandWithUs, & CAMERA are in top newsrooms across the country, writing and producing America’s news. These outlets include MSNBC, The New York Times, CNN, and Fox News.
Those turning to the Sunday news shows to understand events or shape political priorities for the coming week were fed a consistent diet of superficial moralizing, softball interviews with US and Israeli officials, and entirely one-sided empathy and humanization since October 2023.
Israel has discerning taste in news: it prefers headlines that make Palestinians sound like instigators and terrorists – and when they don’t, a few well-placed phone calls or tweets will usually do the trick. Mainstream media lives in Israel’s pocket. Alternative news sources are the lifeblood of truth, especially when it comes to the Israel/Palestine issue.
