Using the Internet to side-step mainstream media bias

December 1st, 2007Ray Hanania (Palestine/USA)

I have started a new venture of creating online PSAs … here’s the link to the most recent PSA I did on the Israeli Wall.

I think the Internet has a tremendous power, especially now with the rise of video delivery and high quality digital video cameras. These 30-second PSA, I hope, will help hammer in a message to viewers on a variety of topics addressing morality and justice not just for Palestinians and Arabs, but for Jews and Israelis, too.

This is the first.

The mainstream news media in the United States does not do a good job of covering the Middle East conflict very well. Theya re biased and one-sided. Some of their stories are right on and they are very good, but oftentimes the problem is the absence of stories and the failure to address issues.
