Our guest is Assal Rad, author of Don’t Say Palestine: How the Media Manufactured Consent for Genocide. We talked about how American media has covered Israel-Palestine, about recent efforts by Israel’s supporters to gain ownership of key institutions in American media, and about alternative media and how it is shaping the American foreign policy debate.

We discuss:

How the problem is not limited to Fox News

The methods employed by media that support Israel

How the internet has changed our access and relationship to information

The use and avoidance of terms like “genocide” and “Palestine”
