Fascinating and extensive new study analyzed ~100,000 headlines on Israel and Palestine over the last 50 years in mainstream US media and found significant pro-Israel bias
Since 1967, use of the word “occupation” has declined by 85% in the Israeli dataset of headlines, and by 65% in the Palestinian dataset
Since 1967, mentions of Palestinian refugees have declined by an overall 93%;
Israeli sources are nearly 250% more likely to be quoted as Palestinians
Coverage of the conflict has reduced dramatically in the second half of the fifty-year period.
