[VIDEO] Bill Moyers on Why the Press Bought the Iraq War



The marketing of the war in Iraq by the administration has been much examined, but a critical question remains: How and why did the press buy it? The new Bill Moyers Journal documentary from PBS explores these very questions.

Bill Moyers and his team piece together the reporting that shows how the media were complicit in shaping the "public mind" toward the war, and ask what's happened to the press' role as skeptical "watchdog" over government power. This segment features the work of some intrepid journalists who didn't take the government's word at face value, including the team of reporters at Knight Ridder news service whose reporting turned up evidence at odds with the official view of reality.

The full documentary will broadcast on PBS

This is not at all a shock, people who are aware of the governments manipulation know this to be a fact.


I mean it has happened before, it is not totally confirmed but Franklin D Roosevelt knew about the impending attack on Pearl Harbor but chose to do nothing because if he did, America wouldn't be behind joining WWII.

sounds interesting...might watch it, depending on the time...

IS ANYONE WATCHING THIS? THE LIES! THE LIES! BUSH AND HIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE LINED UP AGAINST A WHITE HOUSE WALL AND SHOT FOR TREASON!

 

[Mr Lucifer]

watching it now, pretty interesting stuff....

i've been saying this same shit all along, the holes have been there for anyone that was paying attention, too bad some fuckheads need to be shown after the fact

meanwhile, i hate being the person who HAS to say "i told you so" cuz it does nothing for the fact that shit's already hit the fan, nothing to avoid what happened

 

[D24OHA]

man thats that ish right there, was watchin while i was cooking

 

[NuffRespeck]

Outstanding presentation!!!!! This documentary is a classic example of how easily brainwashed and gullible most people are. Only a few bothered to question the administrations' claim of the Iraqi-Al Qeada connect and, those that did did so with trepidation for fear of being labeled 'unpatriotic and terrorist sympathizers.' Again, an excellent presentation!!!!

Lovin every minute of this shit...

And fuck BillO.

I just saw that PBS Special. It was an excellent show. It has been know for years that the mass media in America is afraid to ask the tough questions from our government. That's why I try to get as much news as I can from the BBC. I did loose a shit load of respect for the Washington Post though, Bush has that whole newspaper in his back pocket.

 

[smokedacane]

George Bush Sr even said

If the American people knew half of what the government did they would take us out of our homes and lynch us on the streets

sounds like somebody is confessing to me

 

[steverock]

its all about greed and big buiness

 

[Blu Diablo]

Good show, too bad stuff like this doesn't get exposed until AFTER the fact.

 

[Mad Genius]

its all about greed and big buiness

I'm freakin' hypnotized by that avatar. And oh yeah....helluva show. Moyers is at his best when he's exposing these bastards.
