War Made Easy
War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death | Norman Solomon
28 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
War Made Easy cuts through the dense web of spin to probe and scrutinize the key "perception management" techniques that have played huge roles in the promotion of American wars in recent decades. This guide to disinformation analyzes American military adventures past and present to reveal striking similarities in the efforts of various administrations to justify, and retain, public support for war. War Made Easy is essential reading. It documents a long series of deliberate misdeeds at the highest levels of power and lays out important guidelines to help readers distinguish a propaganda campaign from actual news reporting. With War Made Easy, every reader can become a savvy media critic and, perhaps, help the nation avoid costly and unnecessary wars.

Political correctness gone berserk. We can bomb them, but we can't offend them.

What he says here is irrelevant. I just can't get past the fact that his name is Bourke Hickenlooper, and I felt the need to share this information.

NBC's owner, General Electric, designed, manufactured, or supplied parts or maintenance for nearly every major weapons system used by the United States during the Gulf War. In other words, when correspondents and paid consultants on NBC television praised the performance of U.S. weapons, they were extolling equipment made by GE, the corporation that pays their salaries.

I can't wait for this thousand-year-old bitch to die. Keep in mind that this was the same woman who said that the victims of Hurricane Katrina who were staying in that football stadium were "probably doing better than they normally were before the hurricane," even though they lost everything and were literally lying in feces.

The president launched the invasion of Grenada just two days after a truck bomb killed 241 Americans at the U.S. Marine headquarters in Beirut. The invasion quickly pushed the Lebanon disaster out of the media spotlight. Opinion polling showed a net gain of several points for Reagan‘s favorable numbers. The military triumph in Grenada served as rapid-fire successor to mortifying loss.
