This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American
political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.</div> <!-- end event description --> <!-- Begin URL --> <div class="infourl">Web site: <a id="website" href="http://web.mit.edu/arab">web.mit.edu/arab </a></div> <!-- End URL --><!-- Begin venue information --> <!-- begin open to --> <div>Open to: the general public </div> <!-- end open to --> <!-- begin cost --> <p>
