Last night, American Public Broadcast Service (PBS) TV aired a new segment of Bill Moyers' Journal "Buying the War", which examines both the marketing methods used by the Bush Administration to sell the Iraq War to the American people durng the lead-up to the MCO part of OIF,
and the failure of the American media to critically examine the Administration's claims, information, etc., and to perform the "4th Estate's" role as an additional check and balance on the Government...... All in all, Moyer's expose is pretty damning.
The URL link to PBS's website and featured show is below. It is 90 minutes long and there are no registration or U.S. only residency requirements (unlike UK's Channel 4 .... which won't let people outside the UK and Northern Ireland view its online shows, which I discovered when trying to watch Mark of Cain)....
My personal view is that anyone who cherishes personal freedom and the Bill of Rights (i.e. Freedom of the Press -- in this case, from self-censorship) would probably want to watch this ........
Comments and critiques (not diatribes) welcomed.
