WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception is a documentary film describing the role of the mainstream media before the invasion of Iraq and during the occupation. The filmmaker Danny Schechter is a veteran producer who previously worked for CNN and ABC. The film points out that prior to the war the media did little more than serve as a cheerleader for Bush. For example, only 3% of new sources during broadcasts were from anti-war voices. He notes the Iraq war is "war as entertainment", complete with countdown and kickoff. Further, the anti-war movement seemed to be invisible because the major networks denied airtime for ads from those opposed to the war. (More info on film here)

Please attend and enlarge the progressive thoughts and actions here in Bush country. Thank you.
