But the US media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick \"war on terror\" framework. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Sell a Genocide \u003c\/i\u003eis a thorough indictment of US corporate media's role in enabling--and, at times, directly inciting--one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how prominent news outlets like \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, CNN, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel's war crimes, hid the US's central role, and dehumanized the Palestinian people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing from deep, original data-driven analysis, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda, from the selective empathy, strategic omissions, overt racism, and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force, Johnson argues that the active, sustained complicity of the US media is prolonging the genocide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam H.
