| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The two-hour "20/20" or "60 Minutes" exposA that never was |
| This professionally written and produced documentary is essential viewing for any American concerned about their free press. In this exposA , of the sort which would have been on 20/20 or 60 Minutes when I was kid, media veteran and critic Danny Schechter amasses evidence which shows how complicit the American media were in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Statistics are damning---of the roughly 800 experts on American TV in the build-up to war, only 4 provided anti-war perspectives. Most of the time anti-war and other positions critical of the government line were simply ignored; when they were shown, it was simply a quick shot of "those people protesting" or a soundbite about soldiers protecting protestors rights to free speech, instead of any serious analysis of the arguments made against the war.
And so a large percentage of the American people's voices were lost from the so-called debate, because of a priori prejudices and agendas shared by the media producers, military leaders, and politicians. This film provides evidence in support of Noam Chomsky's propaganda model of the American news media. The viewer sees how career advancement, product marketing, market share, etc. trump good old truth telling and challenging power in the modern American mass media. |
