A Blurry Line Between Propaganda and News
Khody Akhavi reviews Norman Solomon's film "War Made Easy" for Inter Press Service: "'War Made Easy' does not dispute the idea that the press is self-correcting, is willing to investigate its own reporting lapses (as The New York Times did after the Judith Miller WMD scandal), and issue apologies and retractions. But it warns against the ostensible collusion between press and government. In Solomon's view, the US mainstream news media is cast as part and parcel of the Bush administration's war apparatus, an echo chamber that packages, builds support for, and, through the vehicle of 'leaked misinformation,' sells the war to the US public."
