Bill Moyer's PBS documentary "Buying The War"





Here's another documentary I suggest you watch, if you want to see another side of the news - the one you don't often get to see.


"Buying the War" examines the press coverage in the lead-up to the war as evidence of a paradigm shift in the role of journalists in democracy and asks, four years after the invasion, what's changed? "More and more the media become, I think, common carriers of administration statements and critics of the administration," says THE WASHINGTON POST's Walter Pincus. "We've sort of given up being independent on our own."


It's an eye opener.

Enjoy.

If you use the menu function, at the bottom right of that media player while it's playing, you'll find the rest of the show there to watch.
