There were two wars in Iraq--a military assault and a media war. The former was well-covered; the latter was not. Until now... Independent filmmaker, Emmy-award winningTV journalist, author and media critic, Danny Schechter turns the cameras on the role of the media. His new film, WMD, is an outspoken assessment of how Pentagon propaganda and media complicity misled the American people, while selling the war to influence international public opinion. Schechter compares and contrasts coverage on a global basis, including exclusive material and insider interviews. WMD is a serious film that exposes the media role--the biggest scandal of our time.
Leave your thoughts about WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception.
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesA comprehensive and devastating critique of the TV news networks' complacency and complicity in the war on Iraq. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenIt's impossible to take in all the information in one sitting and at times threatens to spin off in too many directions, but I guarantee this movie will provide plenty to mull over and inspire consumers to demand greater accountability from their media purveyors. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThis indignant attack on the way the Iraqi war was marketed and covered feels about as timely and relevant as yesterday's newspaper. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA 98-minute elucidation of a point that's accepted within three minutes. |
| Village VoiceJosh GoldfeinSchechter has a broad sub-Chomskian critique of the media's complicity in building support for Operation Iraqi Freedom. |
| The New York TimesNed MartelUnfortunately, his (Schechter) uneven, unpolished documentary, WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception, takes on far too many antagonists. |
