Content analysis of mainstream media coverage of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. Examining the Sunday morning news talk shows on NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox from October 8, 2023 to January 14, 2024, this article identifies a pro-Israel bias in coverage of Israel's war on Gaza. Key findings include that only one Palestinian national had appearances across the four programs compared to ten Israeli guests, 60-96% of American guests expressed pro-Israel views across platforms, and the word "genocide" was only used once to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, despite the term's widespread use to describe Israel's war conduct at the time. This resource is valuable for research on US media bias and framing, American public opinion, the Gaza genocide, and social media and Palestine.
