Step by step how it's done. And how the US Media is a willing participant.

How Israeli propaganda shaped U.S. media coverage of the flotilla attack - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com

Glenn Greenwald

The edited IDF video was shown over and over on American television without question or challenge. Israeli officials and Israel-devoted commentators appeared all over television -- almost always unaccompanied by any Turkish, Palestinian or Muslim critics of the raid -- to spout the Israeli version without opposition. Israel-centric pundits in America claimed, based on the edited IDF video, that anyone was lying who even reported on the statements of the passengers that Israeli fired first. In sum, that the Israelis used force only after the passengers attacked the commandos became Unquestioned Truth in American discourse.

YouTube - SA@Takimag - America First

Israel and Palestine can pound sand. If you don't agree, you automatically place America second. Please leave to one of these two countries.

If you need a prime A example of why the media almost always just gives us the Israeli side of the story.

Just look here.

Look what happens when the Israeli apologist argument runs up against someone who can shoot down their propaganda point by point.

Do you think the Media looked good to after this?
