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

another reason to despise my homeland. tell me something i don't know.

This functions as an introduction to the topic of how the government positions war to the public but often comes off tonally dry and distant from direct examples.

It's good but I'd be lying if I said that it didn't feel incredibly naive at times. For example it complains about reporters being deployed with troops in Iraq given biased news. While this is true it doesn't explore the alternatives. News reporters are specifically targeted for kidnappings so what other option is there without having blatant disregard for their safety? Still, it does point out the sheer hypocrisy of governmental spin during times of war, something that needs to be done.

Should be shown in every school in America.
