Description: Peace, Propaganda the Promised Land provides a striking comparison
of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle
East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have
reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of
American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military
base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli
public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over
how news from the region is reported.
