A very interesting piece on how language is used in media was just posted by Yonatan Mendel on the London Review of Books site. Basically it is an analysis of the discourse in the Israeli media surrounding their reporting on Palestinian issues.

I do not want this blowing up into some type of anti-fill-in-the blank type thread (and I'll lock it if it does ), but I do think that his piece is an excellent one to base a discussion on the use and abuse of discourse, media, etc. in structuring perceptions. In that vein, I'd be interested in seeing what people think about it.
