War Made Easy
How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death
Dahr Jamail & Norman Solomon
Join us to welcome media critic and author Norman Solomon and his latest book which examines 50 years of press-corps complicity in promoting military endeavors. From Vietnam to Panama to Iraq, he reveals a consistent strategy of distorting facts, demonizing the enemy and labeling dissent as "unpatriotic."Proceeds to benefit FAIR,
Just back from a trip to Iran, possibly the next U.S. military target, Solomon will give us the critical tools we need to separate real news from propaganda--and help prevent the next repeat performance.
Speaking with him will be Dahr Jamail, one of the few independent US journalists reporting from Iraq. Weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war in Iraq for the Iraqi people and US soldiers, Jamail went to Iraq to report on the war himself. Recently returned from the Middle East, Jamail will give us the crucial stories we aren�t receiving from the news media.
