The Role of the Media in Shaping Public Perception Stephen Pelletiere speaks at the CPAP With a PhD in Political Science, a background in journalism, and a current position as professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Army War College, Stephen Pelletiere brought his expertise to a discussion of the media at a 13 September 2001 Center lecture. He focused on press coverage of Iraq, Palestine, and the current situation following the 11 September plane hijackings and attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in the U.S. Pelletiere began by addressing the media campaign against Iraq following the Iran-Iraq war. The U.S. did not expect Iraq to win, and when it did, U.S. leaders were “dumbfounded.” As Iraq sought to “rebuild itself” after the war, the U.S. attempted to prevent this restructuring through a number of avenues, focusing on damaging Iraq’s “credit worthiness.” Despite the accumulation of a large debt, Iraq “was good for the money” considering its oil resources. Still, in the spring of 1988, Iraq did not have the cash reserves necessary and wished to reschedule its debt payments. The media in the U.S. began running stories on Iraq, “the tone of which was extremely hostile.” “All of the stories were slanted against Iraq,” which by itself is suspicious. In addition, some of the stories were simply “phony,” such as the report that 80,000 to 100,000 Kurds were gassed to death by Iraq. “You can’t kill that many people using gas, in a concentrated period, in terrain such as exists in northern Iraq.” Irrational stories do appear in the media on occasion, but not usually so extensively in the established press. It seemed to Pelletiere that “this was a campaign.” At the time, Congress was debating sanctions on Iraq and may have been trying to prepare the public. When sanctions were eventually declared, Iraq could no longer reschedule its debts. Moving to the issue of how the media has covered Israel and Palestine, Pelletiere explained that Israel’s current military activity in the Occupied Territories is “coming dangerously close to ethnic cleansing.” Nonetheless, the press presents the conflict as relatively balanced and argues that both sides are equally responsible for the violence. Pelletiere takes a different approach. He explained that at the Camp David negotiations, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered a deal “that was no deal at all.” Barak hoped the Palestinians would accept it and be “saddled with an entity that was not viable,” a so-called state that would fall apart. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat refused. “The pro-Israeli forces . . . had to find a way of retreating from the exposed position they found themselves in, because in the process of setting Arafat up, . . . they had dignified both him and his movement by appearing to take the idea of Palestinian statehood seriously.” They choose to “criminalize” the Palestinians. Israeli leader Ariel Sharon’s provocative visit to the Haram al-Sharif, which Barak allowed, started the uprising, then the Israeli army responded to subsequent protests with “unusual ferocity.” “Once a cycle of violence had been created, one could simply nurse it along.” Pelletiere urged the public to “pay special attention” to the fact that journalists who are focusing on these stories and opinions are conservative, as are the newspapers publishing them, mainly The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. The line between news and opinion has become blurred, mainly through the op-ed pages of the newspapers. “Spurious” ideas start there and then filter into the news. This is not only the case regarding Israel/Palestine, but with other issues as well. The role of the press is to “serve special interests.” Pelletiere urged those concerned with these issues to confront to media. The “peace movement faced the same challenges” in the 1960s and managed to overcome them. They can be overcome now as well, “but it does take innovative thinking.”
Good sport, Whipone!!! They will be delighted to hear they wont be met with any resistance from you! Just remember to prepare your point of entry with plenty of lube.
I thought the "Hebrew Hammer" was funny anyways. They like to make fun of themselves. That's a good thing in religion. Don't take yourselves too seriously. Think about the Muslims. No humor in that religion. I think that is a key difference that makes the Jews and Christians better suited to a more global economy and culture. They are adaptable and forgiving. Muslims? Not so much. Relax you freaks. Plus, the all powerful people that made this website that you spend 2 hours a day on are Jewish. So, are you boycotting this website now? Hmm? Hmm? Didn't think so.
If Jeff started censoring my posts then i would. The problem isn't Judaism, its the Zionist hijacking of that religeon for its own insideous purpose. Just ask Jews against Zionism.com
If Zionism is the biggest thing I have to worry about in the media, then bring it on. I am going to miss sausage McGriddles though. Lighten up people. Every generation thinks that the world is coming to a close. I am a lucky person to live in a time with such great opportunities. You are too. Unless you live in Iraq or any country with a lot of oil. Times might be hard for the next 4 years. If they were Jewish, this would be a whole lot easier. Am I scared of some bitches with little bitchy hats? And billions of dollars? Fuck no! Where's my sammich?
I don't want to have fun. I want to entrench myself in a dark corner. And gasp at the world. "Gasp" Fun vs. Conspiracy, well you got me there. Conspiriscists never seem like they are happy I guess. I wonder if there is a reason for that. Hmm. Seems like they are never happy cuz "dammit, there is a con-ssspiracy afoot hea!" But... that said. I am not happy about the state of affairs in the world neither. Homelessness, rape, murder... these things make me sad. "Consssspiracy?" I'll leave that to the conspiracists.
Thankyou, your comments have been noted. Just one question...did you read the excerpt from the Stephen Pelletiere article i posted up there?
Nursey you are right about the Jews dominating the U.S. media and we agree it is a huge problem. Then you split right off on this crazy and unrelated conspiracy story. So right but yet so very wrong. It is a shame really.
