"How complicit media tried to sell a genocide
Nearly three years into the Gaza genocide, many consumers of mainstream media have been left reeling by flawed and one-sided coverage of the horrors meted out by the Israeli army. They have turned elsewhere for vital information.
Two recently published books – The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza by Robin Andersen and How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza by Adam H. Johnson – need to be widely read, recommended and referenced.
The two books present unique strengths and perspectives. When taken together, they provide a comprehensive, detailed and devastating critique of the dominant US media landscape. Known variously as the corporate, establishment, mainstream and more recently the legacy media, their heinous coverage of the ongoing US-Israeli genocide in Gaza has exposed far-reaching bias, propaganda and anti-Palestinian racism."
