DESCRIPTION:Is it bias, laziness, fear of being fired, or just plain ignorance?  In 
 news report after news report, mainstream media offers unbalanced, 
 incomplete, un-contextualized, or just-plain-wrong reporting on Israel and 
 Palestine. The choices of words, graphics, and interviewees support the 
 narrative favored by Israel and pro-Israel lobby groups.\n\nWhat are the 
 consequences of this distorted journalism to public opinion, domestic 
 government policies, and to national foreign and military policies? 
 Panelists will explore the media’s “Palestine problem,” centering on 
 three short films: "The U.S. Media has a Palestine Problem," "Occupation of 
 the American Mind" (short version), and "Incite and Inflame: Israel’s 
 Manipulation of the Media."\n\nWatch the free films at your convenience 
 before the event. Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our 
 speakers at the Q&A Discussion.\n\nNOTE: After you register, you will 
 immediately get an Approved response on your screen - BUT then look in your 
 email for an email From: Zoom with the word "Confirmation" at the end of 
 the subject line...there you'll find the link and password to watch the 
 film in advance of the 
 event.\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
