When News Lies: Media Complicity and the Iraq War
Danny Schechter

Danny Schechter criticizes the U.S. media's coverage of the Iraq War, arguing that reporters and editors are not objective in their coverage. Mr. Schechter also talks about his own experience trying to get his documentary critical of the media's coverage, "Weapons of Mass Deception," on the air in the United States. Mr. Schechter is interviewed by documentary filmmaker and journalist Rory O.Connor, who co-founded the international media firm Globalvision with Danny Schechter in 1988 (www.globalvision.org ).

Danny Schechter, aka "The News Dissector," is an independent filmmaker and jounalist who has worked as a producer for ABC News and CNN. He is the author of "The More You Watch, The Less You Know" and "The Death of Media." For more information, visit www.newsdissector.org/blog.
