Review – War Made Easy

Okay, so let me make sure I’ve got this straight. War is bad? Politicians tell lies in order to build support for war efforts? And the mainstream media are either actively complicit or passively supportive of lying politicians? Thanks for the info. I had no idea. In all fairness, this documentary is far too brief to include both a basic lesson in propaganda and any actual insight into the subject. I would have greatly preferred the latter, but if you need the former for some reason this is a reasonably good introduction to the topic. If nothing else, it includes some interesting footage. On the other hand, it’s a trifle dishonest. It implies that modern war propaganda began with the Vietnam War, which is questionable at best. It also makes its points using an excessive amount of footage from Fox News. That may be an example of propaganda at its worst, but it also isn’t a good example of the mainstream media. Mildly amusing
