Bill Moyers Journal: Buying the War Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at 9 PM on PBS (check local listings) How the administration marketed the war to the American people has been well covered, but critical questions remain: How and why did the press buy it, and what does it say about the role of journalists in helping the public sort out fact from propaganda? In this clip from the premiere of Bill Moyers Journal on PBS, Bob Simon of 60 Minutes, who was based in the Middle East, talks about the reporting he was seeing and reading out of the beltway, and John Walcott and Warren Strobel of Knight Ridder newspapers (now The McClatchy Company), discuss their work burrowing deep into the intelligence agencies to determine whether there was any evidence for the Bush Administration's case for war. On Wednesday, April 25 at 9 P.M. on PBS (check local listings), watch "Buying the War," a 90-minute documentary that explores the role of the press in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, which includes interviews with Dan Rather, formerly of CBS; Tim Russert of Meet the Press; and Walter Isaacson, former president of CNN. Two days later on April 27, the Bill Moyers Journal airs its regular timeslot on Fridays at 9 P.M. with interviews and news analysis of underreported stories across an array of beats, including: the environment, media, politics, the economy, arts and culture, and social issues.

I recommend everyone see this whole broadcast. It's an absolute classic. Sickest of all, though, is that there are some--look at these pages for example!--who're still arguing that the Bush regime was right. That's roughly the state of critical thinking in the US now...and why we completely lack credibility in the rest of the world.

I guess that was his connection to terrorism, to answer alvincay100 - our own CIA, lol.

Saddam was content to be a rich dictator. As this video clearly points out, and most other Middle East experts, he was a control freak, so he kept out 'competition,' like Islamic extremists. Bush-Cheney had more ties to terrorism than Saddam, they have put out pure BS on 9-11, Iraq, etc.; not 5, or 10, but SIXTEEN US intelligence agencies have said Bush's Iraq war has Increased hatred of US, therefore Terrorism! Defeat Bush's boy McCain, more of the same.

Don't bother trying to explain it to this person. Their brain has rotted away and has been replaced with a robot neocon brain that will believe anything those derelicts say. This person is a lost cause and will most likely vote for Mc Can't in this year's election and suit up for his 100 year war.
