WMD also screens Monday, Oct 17 at 6:45 PM at the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton.
LSE grad Schechter is an investigative journalist, author and blogger-in-chief of Mediachannel.org, a global media issues network. The film shows how corporate media outlets "did more selling than telling" about the Iraq war and were complicit. While the film focuses on US networks, it features prominent British journalists as well as well as the role of Arab media. It is an insider film with an outsider perspective often favorably compared to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911.
Everyman Expose screening of 'Weapons of Mass Deception' followed by Danny Schechter Q&A session at 3pm on Sunday 16 October at the Everyman Cinema Club, Hampstead (diagonally opp Hampstead tube). To book tickets (£15 each) please visit www.everymancinema.com or call the Box Office on 0870 066 4777.

ABOUT THE FILM
About 'Weapons of Mass Deception'
Having tracked TV coverage of the Iraq War on a daily basis for Mediachannel.org, Danny Schechter editor of mediachannel.org, investigates the media war that took place alongside the military war, fought with cameras, satellites, armies of journalists and propaganda techniques. Featuring footage from inside Iraq and inside the media, 'WMD' busts through so-called 'objective reporting' to challenge US media complicity with the government and its co-operation in presenting the Iraq War the way it did. Additional 'WMD' Screening with Q&A at the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton, on Mon 17 Oct with TV broadcast on ITV4 in November. http://www.wmdthefilm.com

No weapons of mass destruction were found that doesn't mean they didn't exist!

If there were no weapons of destruction in Iraq then why did America and Britain spend millions of pounds on the Iraq survey group trying to find them for 18 months? Also if Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction why did Saddam continually obstruct and harrass UN weapons inspectors for 12 years? Surely he had something to hide.

brainwashed Americans

Look you right wing brainwashed cronies, we screwed Saddam royally when we sent weapons inspectors in there only to spy on his country, which was widely known to everyone in the world except the brainwashed Fox viewers who get less than 40% of the available news information. Saddam would have been smarter to hide even more since all Americans did was lie about the entire WMD search and conclusion to boot! You right wing loonies have blown the US credibility world wide and why don't you think Iran or N. Korea want to trust us with inspectors or anything else? I think this is even easy enough for a brainwashed fool to answer.
You blew it, 1st by voting for a complete fool, then trying to make excuses for the next 5 years. Get over it neocons, you lost the battle, and the fight. All you have left is to lose every election in the future, which will be the only chance for the USA to get any semblance of credibility back not just around the world, but for us citizens of America.
