In 1982, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon led to rare moments

In 1982, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon led to rare moments where US media exposed the brutality of Israel’s actions, calling it what it was: **Imperialism** — Fast forward to today, and the narrative has drastically shifted. Where once journalists questioned the ethics of Israeli aggression, today’s corporate media often serves as a mouthpiece for powerful propagandists, muting criticism and distorting facts.

What changed? Why has critical reporting given way to silence or sanitized narratives? In an era where journalistic integrity is often compromised by political alliances, we must remember these moments in history when media was unafraid to challenge imperial violence.
