Or Roach, it could be simply giving correct information to people who want to hear it.
Arab Muslims want to hear about the plight of the Palestinians. They don't want to hear about concessions the Israelis give, they don't want to hear about the PLO/Hamas corruption, they don't want to hear about the breaking of treaty after treaty.
Westerners want to hear about the plight of Israelis. They imagine themselves as if they had to endure rocket attack after attack, after giving up large chunks of land in supposed peace treaties. The majority support (openly or quietly) military action against proclaimed terrorist groups.
It's not infotainment, it's the reporters, news agencies, and demographic all saying what is needed to be said. The news isn't just lazy and saying "this is what we're told so it's news."
