Gaza and the Mainstream Media Crisis | The London Circle
| The London Circle | 21 Feb 2024
Since the Gaza began in October 2024, the mainstream media has by far deserted its long-claimed standards of professionalism, integrity and truth, in favour of a pro-Israeli narrative that has had and warns of grave risks not only to the portrayal of a serious war ongoing, but to the state of democracy itself.
It is clear that the war in Gaza has had far reaching implications, amongst which is the performance of the western media and what is otherwise termed as the mainstream media. Projecting a largely pro-Israel narrative, accompanied by a concerted omission campaign, the response has been in the driving away of large swathes of audiences who now receive their intake of news and information from alternative media sources, including social media.
What long term impact does that have on the forthcoming elections in the UK and the US, and indeed on the state of democracy itself?
Anas Altikriti discusses these and other related issues with Asa Winstanley.
