Harvard University published a paper on media bias during the Israel-Hezbollah War last year. The full name of the article is The Israeli-Hezbollah War of 2006: The Media as a Weapon in Asymmetrical Conflict
.
This is the abstract from it:
Based on content analysis of global media and interviews with many diplomats and journalists, this paper describes the trajectory of the media from objective observer to fiery advocate, becoming in fact a weapon of modern warfare. The paper also shows how an open society, Israel, is victimized by its own openness and how a closed sect, Hezbollah, can retain almost total control of the daily message of journalism and propaganda.
If you want some analysis, you can always go to World Politics Watch
By gum! I was right, there was a disproportional reporting towards Hezbollah...
