Just finished watching this. Really good doc presented by a Brit John Pilger. After watching guessing he is a well known journalist over there. 1.5 hours worth a watch.
He drills down on government propaganda and the collusion with the media.
John Pilger's film is a powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war. The War You Don't See traces the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War I to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the war in Afghanistan. As weapons and propaganda are ever more sophisticated, the very nature of war has developed into an 'electronic battlefield'. But who is the real enemy today?
