Think Critically About The War You Don't See

I'm still trying to find decent, regular news/media sources that aren't lying all the time. While I was searching non-mainstream sources for general news today, I came across John Pilger's 2010 documentary, "The War You Don't See."

See John Pilger's Website here .

John Pilger has been questioning Western foreign policy for decades as a journalist, writing articles that question status quo and the way of things, and his documentary experience goes back all the way to 1970, with his "The Quiet Mutiny" documentary. Pilger, an Australian, has been involved in more than 60 documentary productions and is a strong critic speaking out against questionable content and structure of mainstream media sources.

One of his most recent projects, a documentary called "The War You Don't See" is a pointed investigation into how mainstream media presents news related to WAR... what mainstream sources do or don't show about war, how mainstream media writers, producers and announcers force the mood and such related to the stories (and I'm going to boldly call them STORIES, not News) they are conveying.

Watch the documentary:




How often are you tuning in to mainstream sources for general news, expecting to learn what is going on in the world?

Settle in - it's full length :)
