Israel continues its time-honored strategy of manipulating the mainstream U.S. media — this time muddying the coverage of the assassination of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Since 2000, 50 Palestinian journalists have been killed, and the world doesn’t know the names of any of them.

The mainstream U.S. media coverage of the killing of the prominent Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in occupied Palestine could have been worse.

The New York Times and the others could have just ignored the fact that she was shot in the head while reporting, almost certainly by the Israeli military. In a powerful interview, this site’s Yumna Patel explains that since 2000, 50 Palestinian journalists have been killed, and the world doesn’t know the names of any of them. And the Times, to its credit, did add a brief profile of Shireen to its main report, explaining that she was well-known in Palestine and across the Arab world for her years of reporting for the Al-Jazeera network.

Meanwhile, nearly all of the thousands of Palestinians who the Israeli occupation kills in Gaza and the West Bank remain nameless.

But otherwise the mainstream media fell for the Israeli government’s longtime strategy: react immediately to bad news by putting out false or unproven statements, knowing that the Americans will take the bait with a “both-sides say — who knows what’s true?” story...........read and watch more.........
