Media critic Norman Solomon and the Media Education Foundation have
released a documentary titled “War Made Easy: How Presidents and
Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death.” The film is based on Solomon’s book
of the same name.
War Made Easy exposes a 50-year
pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged
the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to
Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes
remarkable archival footage of official distortion and
exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning
detail how the American news media have uncritically
disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential
administrations.
