Read the Questions presented on the Web page and then watch the video at the bottom of the
page (Note - I have to select "Play" twice to get the video running) Note the types of media bias
detailed in the right hand column of the web page. Lastly, in Discussion #4, address the question
posed on the web page as follows:
Do you agree with Mr. Frankl's assertion that the mainstream media is not doing their job
by reporting on the demonization of Israel by the PA? Explain your answer in Discussion
#4.
Mainstream media is the emblem which provides the society with news from all over the world.
It is the news that is mostly viewed because it is believed to be accurate, and we can trust it as a
reliable source of information. However, in modern times, the mainstream media companies
have turned from providing accurate reporting and news towards news that sells and provides
them higher viewership. I do agree with Mr. Frankl's assertion that the mainstream media is not
doing their job by not reporting on the demonization of Israel by the PA. If the news portals do
not provide the information as to what really is happening in the third world country, there is no
way the diplomates or the governments can take any standard actions that are required in order to
acquire peace in the Palestine country. When Mr. Frankl gives the example of the children in
Palestine learning poems that are discriminatory as well as very unethical, that simply shows the
power of social media. Him pointing at the largest news portal is a direct criticism as to how
different news portal are no covering this issue. In today’s world, mainstream media has become
an emblem of breaking news. Their job is not only to provide viewers and readers with important
news but also to provide news that will be interesting and catchy. Unfortunately, mainstream
media companies and portals like The New York Times, Washington Post use this power to their
advantage and manipulate the news reports according to their affiliations with the political party
and influential individuals that are connected to them. They are more interested in making
money than providing the truth to the citizens. It is the media’s job to provide the citizens with
true information in its entirety. Therefore, I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Frankl's assertion.
