The book delves into the impact of Al-Jazeera on U.S. war reporting since 9/11, challenging the notion that it fosters a counter-hegemonic debate. Through empirical analysis, it reveals how U.S. television networks have re-broadcast Al-Jazeera's content while framing it negatively, effectively diminishing critical perspectives on the war. Additionally, it explores how the U.S. government has influenced public discourse by managing the reception of Al-Jazeera's English-language platform, highlighting the complexities of media representation and government control.
