compares ukraine and gaza coverage in first 100 days
conclusion:
This survey of CNN and MSNBC coverage is quantitative evidence of a double standard in both empathy and emphasis during the early weeks of conflict—when moral narratives are cemented and sympathies are shaped for the public. Palestinian victims are made abstract, rarely given humanizing portraits, and their killings are seen as incidental and unintended. The killing of Ukrainians and Israelis, however, is put in stark moral terms, broadly presented as deliberate. This is just one part of a broader regime of media dehumanization that makes the ongoing decimation of Gaza palatable to the American public whose leaders continue to arm and fund it.
