DOMINANT ANGLE
Washington watches Lebanon through its culture war — NPR humanizes the resistance, Fox validates the strikes, Lebanese civilians vanish
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Washington covers the Lebanese front with the ideological division characterizing its press — and this time, it's spectacular. NPR published a rare interview with a Hezbollah commander 'describing battling Israel.' Fox News, in exact mirror, headlined 'IDF uncovers Hezbollah weapons stash inside hospital.' The two articles don't cover the same war. Neither mentions the baby killed at the funeral, the UNIFIL vehicles rammed, or Netanyahu's conquering visit. America watches Lebanon through its own culture war, and the Lebanese exist only as extras in this domestic psychodrama.
KEY POINTS
- NPR publishes a rare interview with a Hezbollah commander
