For decades, the story of Palestine has been filtered through a powerful, one-sided lens. But how was this narrative built & why it matters? Throughout the 20th century, Zionists systematically built influence within U.S. media. They bought newspapers, pressured editors, and silenced critical reporters.
The result was a heavily skewed, pro-Israel narrative that painted the country as a “David vs. Goliath” democracy, while systematically erasing Palestinian voices from the story. Even Dorothy Thompson, once hailed as the “First Lady of American Journalism,” wasn’t immune. After she publicly criticized Zionism, her speaking engagements vanished and newspapers dropped her column. She was blacklisted—a stark warning to others long before “cancel culture” had a name. Bottom Line: The US media landscape was deliberately shaped to control the story, and the cost of dissent was professional destruction. Well If a journalistic icon like Dorothy Thompson could be erased for speaking out, what other crucial truths have we been systematically denied for generations? It’s good to know.
