Muravchik (American Enterprise Institute) reviews news coverage of ten "incidents" from the second Palestinian Intifada, seeking and finding systemic bias against Israel. The subjects of the study are ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox, the New York Times , and the Washington Post . Muravchik's earlier works and the fact that his study was commissioned by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a pro-Israel think tank, are indications of his point of view. He asserts that news media shouldn't give equal weight to spokespeople from both sides because "Palestinians repeatedly lie," while Israel "operates, like other democratic governments, with a presumption of truth-telling."
