War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to DeathLoretta Alper, Jeremy Earp, 2007 Film DescriptionWar Made Easy exposes a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the US into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archive footage of official distortion and exaggeration from Lyndon B. Johnson to George W. Bush, revealing in detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.
Based on the critically acclaimed book of the same name by media critic and author Norman Solomon, this documentary gives special attention to the parallels between the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq and presents disturbing examples of propaganda and media complicity from the present alongside rare footage of political leaders and leading journalists from the past.
