For journalists and reporters, the allegation of hegemonic
practices constitute a most serious condemnation. It supposes that
the media is working in the interest of the political establishment
to create a false counsciousness. However, starting with Raymond
Williams's refined definition of hegemony, the author shows how
hegemony is an almost unwitting process which supports the status
quo and the establishment. This text illustrates how this "soft
hegemony" is manifest in the everyday workings of the media, and
all the more so, when the media are on one side of a serious
conflict. Considering the reporting of the Israel-Arab conflict and
the 1991 Gulf War, Liebes demonstrates how national journalism
supports the dominant ideology. This unintentional assimilation is
the result of shared values, the inaccessibility of the other side,
the preference for celebrating success rather than exposing
failure, and a wish to be popular with the public. It shows how
journalists abandon their watch-dog role, however, unintentionally,
to support "our side", especially in time of war.
