BILL MOYERS JOURNAL | Buying the War | Excerpt | PBS
Bill Moyers Journal: Buying the WarWednesday, 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.

You'll never hear McCain threaten Bin Laden. When I heard them say Bush was reelected in '04 I knew Bin Laden would be alive for at least four more years. He's a PNAC partner. He's like a junkie's enabler, and they love him. There are National Review type rightists who wish him victory. So what kind of "victory" their boy Mocain is peddling I can't guess.

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.
