    Buying the War

    Documentary by Bill Moyers, currently airing on PBS in the States. Very good stuff on how the media over here basically took everything the White House said as gospel, prior to the invasion of Iraq. It's 90 minutes long, but well worth the view.

    Here

    Needless to say, it has the R/W talking heads in a rage. Example, courtesy of a certain Mr. Bill O'Lielly, er, O'Reilly.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Haven't seen it, but from your description it sounds very like "Manufacturing Consent", which focused on Chomsky, and made exactly the same points about the first Iraq war. Nothing much has changed ...
