Bill Moyers Journal: Buying the War

Bill Moyers asks the question "How did the mainstream press get it so wrong?" in regard to the media's lack of independence and skepticism in the months leading up to the attack on Iraq.

Moyers lays out a 90 minute story filled with interviews of two reporters, Warren Strobel and Jonathan Landay, who had 40 years of experience and were working with Knight Ridder newspapers at the time. He also speaks with Dan Rather, formerly of CBS news and many others in a rare and most thorough dissection of how the media allowed the country to send its soldiers into another country without challenge.
