Media and Journalism

Reporters at War: War, Lies and Videotape It is said that in war, truth is the first casualty. This program examines the oftentimes confrontational relationship between America’s media and the U.S. military and how, from the Vietnam War to Operation Iraqi Freedom, the two sides have tried to outwit and outthink each other. Interviews with renowned American journalists Walter Cronkite, Andy Rooney, and Peter Jennings, among others, and Jihad Ali Ballout, head of communications at Al Jazeera, are featured. Where does the truth fit when a free and democratic society goes to war? Graphic news footage is included. Viewer discretion is advised. A Discovery Channel Production.
