But, have we focused too much on political and intelligence failures and not the failures of the media to scrutinise the policies that led the US and Britain to war? In WMD, Media critic, Danny Schechter, explores the roles the Pentagon propaganda machine and the media played in the Iraq War. WMD's hard-hitting dissection of information warfare asks if the media was complicit in the selling of an unpopular conflict and if the media-management techniques of government are now out of control?Schechter's film includes never-before-seen footage from Iraq, insider information about Pentagon information warfare strategy and a report about torture at Baghdad's notorious Abu Ghraib prison that predates the US network stories by eight months. The film investigates the embed program, 'infiltrates' Fox News and takes a global approach to analysing coverage. WMD comes on the heels of an admission by the New York Times that its pre-war coverage was deeply flawed, a view seconded by Michael Getler, ombudsman of the Washington Post. WMD adds to a growing debate within the U.S. news business about its coverage that differed dramatically from reporting seen around the world. Schecter argues that the war would never have been fought had the corporate owned media held a more scrutinising position in their approach to the Bush administration. With interviews from the luminaries of the industry, WMD provides shocking revelations and insights into a US population who are ill-served and under-informed by an unquestioning news-media in crisis.
