Film on Media Coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian  Conflict Offered Free 
Online
 
 
As a result of the horrific events unfolding in Gaza,  the Media Education 
Foundation is making its 2003 film Peace, Propaganda  & the Promised Land: U.S. 
Media and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict  available online FOR FREE. 

We are taking this unprecedented step to offer  critical perspective on how 
the U.S. news media are covering this crisis.   

Go to _www.pppl.org_ 
(http://t.pm0.net/s/c?66.auyo.5.6zpk.hvc&utm_content=DBachmozart@xxxxxxx)   to 
either watch or download the film for free.  

While the film was made in 2003, its analysis of  U.S. news coverage of the 
Middle East has never been more relevant or more  urgent. The film traces a 
longstanding pattern of media bias in the U.S.,  providing much needed context 
for understanding American news coverage of events  in Gaza now.  

The film has elicited widespread praise for its  clear-eyed analysis of both 
the conflict and the often one-sided way it has been  presented to Americans 
over the years.

Praise for the film:   
"The best, least  biased presentation we have of all the issues involved. A 
must-see  documentary."
- Chalmers Johnson | author of the Blowback  trilogy

"I cannot recommend  this documentary too highly. "Peace, Propaganda & the 
Promised Land"  should be required viewing for every student, for every 
taxpayer 
who is  subsidizing the Israeli military machine, for every citizen in the 
United  States."
- Robert McChesney | author of Rich Media, Poor  Democracy

"Painstakingly  stripping away the myths and inaccuracies regularly passed 
off as truth by  the U.S. media, this film not only reveals the motivations and 
methods of  those responsible for skewing the picture, but also manages to 
present the  most concise and accurate account of the history and implications 
of 
the  Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the role that the U.S. has played in 
the  continuation of that conflict that I have seen. This is a very important  
piece of work that challenges the viewer to think twice before accepting a  
version of the world that owes more to the special interests of a powerful  
elite 
than to any notion of freedom of the press."
- Donna Baillie  | filmmaker, Women in  Black
