When political leaders talk about genocide, they repeat a hackneyed mantra: “Never again.”
Over the past year, for Palestinians in Gaza, “again” has become a reality: massive losses broadcast almost in real time by the victims.

Based on interviews with more than a dozen insiders, it pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of agenda-setting media outlets like CNN, the BBC and the New York Times.
