The disparity persisted despite much higher casualties among Palestinian civilians, whose deaths during our survey period exceeded Ukrainian civilian deaths by 500 percent, indicating a troubling imbalance in media empathy.
CNN and MSNBC routinely focused on the human suffering of Ukrainians, showing a stark contrast in the level of coverage and emotional engagement compared to that of Palestinian victims.
Our study highlights that while liberal networks emphasize human suffering in Ukraine, similar compassion is notably absent in their reporting on the Palestinians during the Gaza war.
The analysis aims to illuminate how media coverage is tailored to align with partisan views, particularly among liberals in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
