Buying The War
The PBS documentary Buying The War hosted by Bill Moyer, is an excellent documentary on the controlled media.
We can’t expect the mainstream media to be critical of it’s self, but luckily we have Bill Moyer to do it for us.
Bill Moyer interviews people like Bob Simon who had been stationed in Iraq and walked the streets of Baghdad.
Mr. Moyer also interviews the authors of a variety of books on the news coverage leading up to the Iraq war:
- James Bamford author of A Pretext for War
- Michael Massing author of Now They Tell US
- Norman Solomon author of War Made Easy
- Eric Boehlert author of Lapdog
There are a couple of interesting connections to make from this film.
One, is William (Bill) Kristol is mentioned as being one of the political pundits who convinced the American People there was a connection between the Iraq, Saddam Hussein and 911. William Kristol is the chairman of Project for the New American Century.
Two, is Michael Gerson was Bush’s speech writer who helped convince the American people there was a connection between Iraq, Saddam Hussein and 911. Michael Gerson left his position as a speech writer for Bush to write for the Washington Post. At the time WP was laying off journalists. All you have to do is Google Michael Gerson to see he is indeed writes for the Washington Post and he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, AKA CFR.
Rather than take my word for it, watch Buying The War and judge for yourself.
I would like to make the suggestion that if you watch the video on PBS’ web site, and find it important, consider making a donation as I have. Bill Moyer won’t be able to continue his work, if we don’t support him.
If you don’t think you agree with Mr. Moyer, at least watch the video before forming an opinion. You can’t credibly dispute an issue (although many people try) unless you have actually examined the material so you know what you’re disputing.

OK, so my website isn’t professional. Professional means you get paid and I suspect anyone who charges for the revolution, like Ales Jones. On the other hand, if they don’t charge I wonder who’s funding them. Is that wrong? I do wish we had a better PBS than PBS. We could use a real alternative media. Oh, well, in your dreams I guess. Even in my house there’s no freedom of speech. I live alone and still censure myself. I sure would like to see something new, though, hundreds of channels of drivel.
