Did the US and UK governments lie about weapons of mass destruction to
promote an attack on Iraq? Did the media hold them to account or act
as cheerleaders for war?
Tell me Lies reveals the systematic propaganda used by both the US and
UK governments to convince us of the 'threat' from Iraq. It shows how
we were deliberately misled into a war that has resulted in a
humanitarian disaster in Iraq and threatens to create further
instability and resentment of the US and UK throughout the Middle
East.
Written by some of the world's leading journalists and commentators,
it's a scathing indictment of the role of the mainstream media in
legitimising government actions and undermining dissent. Critics,
activists and journalists from both sides of the Atlantic explore
alternatives such as the internet and Al Jazeera and provide analysis
and guidance on resisting the media war.
Contributors include John Pilger, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Edward
Herman, Mark Thomas, Mark Steel, and cartoonist Steve Bell amongst
many others.
