War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death

War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

War Made Easy gives special attention to parallels between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq. Guided by media critic Norman Solomon's meticulous research and tough-minded analysis, the film presents disturbing examples of propaganda and media complicity from the present alongside rare footage of political leaders and leading journalists from the past, including Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, dissident Senator Wayne Morse, and news correspondents Walter Cronkite and Morley Safer.

  • Ron Paul 2012.. Bring the troops home.. Close over seas bases and end the wars. We are being lied to by major media.. even as you watch this.. Ron Paul is winning 95% of all polls out there. The media only reports on ones he is not winning on and they ignore him as much as they can due to there link to the government and special interests of major corporations. DO RESEARCH ON RON PAUL AND MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE.

  • Respond to this video.the only peace maker of a president was JFK and they killed him for it, We deserve all we get, we are only cowards.

  • @WAAKKAROONEY there are about 10000 jews in iran

    and that's out of 76 million people that live in iran

  • Some people will fight for the truth and be ridiculed throughout... God save our cowardly human race...

  • @deathtoislam1000 There are about 600000 jews in Iran...

  • @MrFredindo ... Its the age of stupid... the age where Justin Beiber has 770 million views in one video... we are doomed...

  • @MrFredindo yes of course

    just like you just said "allah hu akbar i will kill you infidel"

    oh wait you didn't? well, what meters is that you did

    its not going to work if you'll keep replacing my words with your own

    did i say death to muslims or death to islam? oh now im confused

    by the way if were already talking about Hitler... word is the arabs used to worship him like a god and say"allah in heaven hitler on earth"

  • @deathtoislam1000 let me get this straight... you're an israeli jew, you say all muslims want to kill you, your account name is "death to islam", which implies you wishing the same on muslims what hitler did to the jews... oh, the irony...

  • 21,000 views? are you fucking kidding me? :I

  • There was not ONE frame of J.F.K. That was L.B.J. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was already dead. That was his vice president Lyndon B. Johnson. Y.O.U. are watching the wrong documentary. This is the kind of miss-information that this show is a-freaken-bout!

  • @cruisersism

    You must not have watched the documentary and paid attention because it shows JFK telling lie after lie after lie and escalating our role in Vietnam from simple assistance to all out occupiers. The documentary is highly critical of JFK and he is shown sounding just like Bush if you replace Bush's "war on terror" propaganda with JFK's "war on communism" propaganda. JFK war just another imperialist but the cult of JFK wants you to believe otherwise.

  • Thanks for the video.

  • There are more evidence that we are being fucked by someone, then there is not. Economically, education, work, mind, attention, status, war, medication, "truth"... etc. Where in the end, if you still feel that our governments are looking out for our best interests. Then i dont know what it will take for you to see.

  • @m3ekag Looking on Wikapedia and CIA sites the numbers vary for Iran, but up to 40,000 Jews in Iran. My point is that the Jew are not being killed off left and right.

  • @TheWillwillwill there is no significant Jewish population anywhere in the world besides maybe in Israel and America

    jews are 13 millions 6 millions in israel and the same numbers in america and the rest live at the rest of the world

  • @deathtoislam1000 I am pretty sure that there is a significant Jewish population in Iran and there was also in Iraq Prior to latest war.

  • Nigel Farage: Whatever happened to the veto?

  • Senator Wayne Morse = Ron Paul 2012

  • Everybody should simply sit on his #ss & say #uck, I don't waste my life for any war support. and instead of wasting it for such things,could even self produce energy & food -the rest is just electro-junk what we "need" for living, what's plenty around,so there's less & less reasons to be jealous of any material reason. Ghandi made it already, but when the whole world will finally understand it, the wars will perish,maybe even governments -slowly unneeded, while they don't solve anything nowdays

  • @mark9021 near tel aviv

  • @deathtoislam1000 where is this?

  • @Somewhereremote think about it

    is there a country that Islam is not officially in war with?
