Program Description:
Part scathing critique, part call to action, Independent Media In a Time of War argues that dialogue is vital to a healthy democracy. Independent media has a crucial responsibility to "go to where the silence is," says narrator Amy Goodman, to represent the diverse voices of people engaged in dissent. She makes a compelling argument that the news media have failed to represent "the true face of war." Goodman criticizes the refusal to report civilian war casualties during the 2003 Iraq invasion and the new phenomenon of "embedded reporters," as examples of a pro-military bias in the corporate media.
