War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death Sean Penn narrates this eye-opening, blood-pressure-raising, and disturbing documentary, which is based primarily on the scrupulous research and analysis of media critic Norman Solomon and is supported by enlightening archival news footage, that examines the ways in which the news media often works with the government to shape and skew war coverage, how the news media dispenses war-related information to spin it in a more propagandistic light, how presidents from Lyndon B. Johnson to George W. Bush use outright lies and deception and withhold the real reasons and actual costs of war to sell the need for war to the American public, and how war seemingly becomes perpetual when used as a rationale for peace.   Redhead: Year: 2007 Rating:  NR View War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death on the Internet Movie Database
