https://video.mondoweiss.net/videos/watch/37f225b3-dd29-422d-9973-b1b5ab03a5e4 Adam Johnson, media critic and co-host of Citations Needed, joins Mondoweiss US correspondent Michael Arria to discuss his new book, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza. All royalties from the book are being donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance. Adam breaks down how U.S. media manufactured consent for the genocide in Gaza, from the ISIS-ification of Hamas to the fake ceasefire theater that let Biden run out the clock. He explains how liberal media created an alternate reality where Biden was secretly furious with Netanyahu while never once threatening to cut weapons, how campus protests were smeared as antisemitic pogroms while 3,000 children were being killed in a single month, and why the Claudine Gay scandal got more coverage on MSNBC than the murder of Hind Rajab. He also looks ahead at how liberal Zionism will try to co-opt growing opposition to Israel with better PR instead of real policy change. 🔔 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://subscribe.mondoweiss.net/the-shift Buy Adam's book here: https://bookshop.org/a/109860/9780745351650 Chapters: 0:00 The ISIS-ification of Hamas and how the media primed the U.S. for revenge 11:18 Fake ceasefire theater and the "helpless Biden" myth 21:32 Zero Palestinian guests: how cable news erased an entire people 26:47 The campus antisemitism panic vs. 3,000 dead children in one month 36:17 Will any of this actually change U.S. policy on Israel?
