How The Media Failed To Cover the War on Iraq.

"All truth passes through three stages," said the German philosopher Schopenhauer. "First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

There were two wars in Iraq--a military assault and a media war. The former was well-covered; the latter was not. Until now... Independent filmmaker, Emmy-award winning TV journalist, author and media critic, Danny Schechter turns the cameras on the role of the media. His new film, WMD, is an outspoken assessment of how Pentagon propaganda and media complicity misled the American people, while selling the war to influence international public opinion. Schechter compares and contrasts coverage on a global basis, including exclusive material and insider interviews. WMD is a serious film that exposes the media role--the biggest scandal of our time.

Hopefully sooner then later the public will start realizing how shitty our media is, and start demanding better. They wouldn't have a monopoly if everyone stopped watching the networks.

"The producers of WMD are seeking support to complete the film. "
