These misinterpretations\n\u003cbr\u003ein 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2005, contributed fundamentally to the ever-worsening moral\n\u003cbr\u003eand empirical disorientations of our information elites (journalists,\n\u003cbr\u003eacademics, pundits). So while journalists reported Palestinian war propaganda\n\u003cbr\u003eas news (lethal journalism), they were also reporting Jihadi war propaganda as\n\u003cbr\u003enews (own-goal war journalism).
