Covering the Intifada: How the Media Reported the Palestinian Uprising

by Joshua Muravchik

In this pathbreaking book, Joshua Muravchik analyzes dozens of hours of videotape and thousands of column inches of newspaper reportage to evaluate how six elite U.S. media outlets—ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox, the New York Times, and the Washington Post—covered the Palestinian uprising against Israel. Muravchik’s careful assessment of sensitive issues like bias, imbalance, and superficiality ensures that his provocative research will be the authoritative word on media reportage of a major issue of the Bush administration’s foreign policy agenda.
