One of the greatest reasons to get a Netflix subscription is to gain access to their catalog of documentaries. Not only does Netflix carry the must-see PBS Frontline documentary on Dick Cheney's plan to engage in a coup of the American political system titled The Dark Side, but they carry documentaries that don't have the benefit of being backed by the Chubb Group and viewers like you. One of these documentaries that anyone interested in why the American media stuck their collective heads in the sand during the first three and a half years of Bush's war. It is titled Weapons of Mass Deception.

Takeaways
  • Weapons of Mass Deception is a documentary about how the media failed us.
  • 71% of all analysis interviewed on American news before the invasion were pro-war, 3% were anti-war.
  • CNN refused to report abuses of its reporters in order to keep its Iraq bureau open.
