 Easy the series. Spouses, families and military members will be informed on

 Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year 
 pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United 
 States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor 
 and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of 
 official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing 
 in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically 
 disseminated the pro-war line of one administration after another.\n\nWar 
 Made Easy gives special attention to parallels between the Vietnam war and 
 the war in Iraq. Driven by media critic Norman Solomon's meticulous 
 research and tough-minded analysis, it sets stunning examples of propaganda 
 and media complicity from the present within the context of rare footage 
 from political leaders and leading journalists of the Vietnam era, 
 including Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, Defense Secretary 
 Robert McNamara, dissident Senator Wayne Morse, and news correspondents 
 Walter Cronkite and Morley Safer.\n\nNorman Solomon's work has been praised 
 by the Los Angeles Times as "brutally persuasive" and essential "for those 
 who would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee." This film 
 now offers a chance to see that context on the screen.\n
