Today, we conclude our series, Covering the Lens, examining coverage of international issues with a look at the U.S. media's coverage of the Middle East conflict. History, politics and religion are a few of the major obstacles to reporting from the region. We'll discuss how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, one of the most complicated international stories of our time, gets covered in the U.S. media.
