In the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, officials repeat WMD and al-Qaeda claims while major TV outlets amplify the “drumbeat” until war shifts from a choice to an inevitability. This clip is from War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2007), which traces the patterns of official deception and media complicity across successive U.S. wars. Featuring Norman Solomon, narrated by Sean Penn. #Iran #IranWar #NoWarWithIran #Media #Propaganda #WarPowers

When war in Vietnam was ramping up, Sen. Wayne Morse went on national TV and said the quiet part out loud: presidents don’t “own” foreign policy—and the public can’t judge a war if it’s denied the facts. That’s not nostalgia. That’s the missing muscle of democracy.

On the verge of a catastrophic war with Iran—one the public doesn’t want—here’s the closing of War Made Easy (2007): Martin Luther King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech laid over Vietnam + Iraq horror, fused into one sickening loop. Same sales pitch. Same “serious” faces on TV. Same bodies. Full film: https://t.co/qjF0Revh0f

April is National Arab American Heritage Month, a time to recognize the achievements of Arab Americans and reflect on the long history of dehumanizing Arab stereotypes. With that in mind, we’ve selected nine videos that critically examine distorted and dehumanizing representations of Arabs in U.S. news and entertainment media.

These films are available to purchase in a variety of formats. Click here to browse & for more information. https://t.co/0hTB4kJrIP
