Please give that post a kick and a nomination so all DU can see this.

Back in January/February, when the film was in theatres, I made several posts promoting Danny Schecter's film; there was not much response. Here's another chance to see the documentary. I know Danny from his days at WBCN in Boston. In March he invited me to a screening at Brandeis. WATCH THIS DOCUMENTARY, IT IS WELL WORTH YOUR TIME!

WMD is to the korporate media as F-9/11 was to the * administration. Check your schedules and watch it, you'll be glad you did.

This just in: The "captain" of the Independent Film Channel (IFC) writes in his blog about the upcoming 9/11 TV screening of WMD. Well worth a read: ifcblog.ifctv.com

This Sunday, the fourth anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks, IFC will air "Weapons of Mass Deception", a harsh look at America's Mainstream Media, which asks a question of paramount importance: "Why, in the face of the largest threat to the American way of life, has the media abdicated its responsibility to the public it serves, allowing our government unfettered control over the way our information is disseminated"?

Danny Schechter goes at this subject, head-on, with amazing footage from all of the major media outlets, and formerly unseen footage from the front lines in Iraq. Danny is a talented journalist, who has made a powerful film that asks important questions.

Through his investigation of the media's behavior before and during the Iraq War, he draws conclusions about the state of the Mainstream Media that have gained significant weight in Katrina's wake. You may not agree with everything he says, but his points should generate an important debate: Where has the media been the past four years, and why are they just now asking "WHY"?
