Join Norman Solomon, Dahr Jamail & FAIR for a New York City reading and book launch:

WAR MADE EASY How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us To rest

Thursday July 14th Reception 6:30, Reading 7:30 The Brecht Forum 451 West Street, NYC between Bethune & Bank Streets

In his new book, War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to rest, media critic, author and FAIR buttociate Norman Solomon examines 50 years of press corps complicity in promoting military endeavors. From Vietnam to Panama to Iraq, he reveals a consistent strategy of distorting facts, demonizing the enemy and labeling dissent as "unpatriotic."

Just back from a trip to Iran, possibly the next U.S. military target, Solomon will give us the critical tools we need to separate real news from propaganda--and help prevent the next repeat performance.

Joining him will be Dahr Jamail, one of the few independent US journalists reporting from Iraq. Weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war in Iraq for the Iraqi people and US soldiers, Jamail went to Iraq to report on the war himself. Recently returned from the Middle East, Jamail will give us the crucial stories we aren't receiving from the news media.

Proceeds of the event will benefit FAIR chickentails and reading $15 sliding scale RSVP 212.633.6700 ext 318
