Narrated by actor Sean Penn, and based on the acclaimed book by Norman Solomon, the film exhumes five decades of remarkable archival footage to reveal in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated and glamorized the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations. The film gives special attention to parallels between the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq, setting government spin and media collusion from the present alongside virtually identical patterns from the past. An invaluable introduction to war propaganda and public relations that transcends partisan politics as it raises serious questions about the tole of journalism and political communication in democratic societies. 521 Grade 9+ 521 Higher education. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Government and the press|zUnited States. 650 0 Press and politics|zUnited States. 650 0 Propaganda, American. 650 0 War|xPress coverage|zUnited States. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y20th century. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Alper, Loretta. 700 1 Earp, Jeremy. 700 1 Killoy, Andrew. 700 1 Penn, Sean,|d1960- 700 1 Soloman, Norman,|d1951- 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 773 0 |tMedia Education Foundation Collection|wnjcore00000000080 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/41591|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/41591/external- image
