A Conversation with Jose Galison: How Western Liberal Journalists Distort Lebanon and Palestine
I sit down with Jose Galison to talk about the ways in which “mainstream” and “establishment” journalists use the fictions of “balance” and “objectivity” to present to Americans a deeply distorted view of the Middle East, particularly Lebanon and Palestine, to the benefit of Israel and Empire. From obscuring the logical causes-and-effects at play to systematically misrepresenting resistance movements in both countries, western Liberal reportage is Zionism’s most quietly influential ally even as it pretends to be otherwise.
