Summary:
Tarek Cherkaoui reveals how geo-political and ideological legacies of the past, which divide the world into a dichotomy of 'us' against 'them', play a dominant role in reinforcing the ensuing polarisation of our media. During the 2003 War in Iraq, American news media found it difficult to convey their pro?war perspective outside the United States. Since the war was unpopular in many parts of the world, failure to win hearts and minds ? particularly in the Middle East ? represented a significant setback for the American soft power.
