After 22 Years, Will US News Media Finally Admit its Craven Complicity in Iraq War? | WAR MADE EASY WATCH FULL MOVIE AT: http://warmadeeasymovie.org/ This clip is adapted from the critically acclaimed documentary "War Made Easy," produced in 2007 by the Media Education Foundation at the height of the Iraq war. "War Made Easy" takes a blistering look at how U.S. media outlets from Fox News to MSNBC enthusiastically disseminated Bush administration propaganda and helped sell a war that would kill thousands of American troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, most of them innocent civilians. This video features additional music from Epidemic Sound. https://www.epidemicsound.com

On the 22nd anniversary of the Iraq War, let's pause to remember everything US corporate media is hoping we'll forget — beginning with their own active complicity. @normansolomon.bsky.social @rootsaction.org @ahjohnson.bsky.social @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social @kthalps.bsky.social bit.ly/41GHkKH
