DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nIn Norman Solomon’s new Afterword in the paperback 
 edition of his book War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of 
 Its Military Machine, the author excoriates the White House for arming a 
 genocide with assistance from a negligent press. Soloman tracks events 
 following the October 7th attacks on civilians and military in Israel, a 
 few months after publication of the book in hardcover. The 31-page 
 Afterword indicts the Biden administration for complicity in Israel’s 
 genocide, a horror facilitated by Pentagon media stenographers who covered 
 up, ignored or under-reported U.S-Israel war crimes.\n\nWe will talk to 
 Norman about how the corporate press minimized Palestinian suffering, 
 under-reported the Biden administration’s arms shipments, and failed to 
 stand up for journalists risking their lives to cover the bloodbath. We 
 will also acknowledge the reporters who joined in newsroom revolts against 
 corporate overlords censoring their stories.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nNorman Solomon 
 is National Director of RootsAction.org and Executive Director of the 
 Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of many books, including 
 “War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of its Military 
 Machine,” which now includes “Afterward: The Gaza War.”\n\nA 
 collection of Solomon’s “Media Beat” columns, published from 
 1992-2009, won the George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to 
 Honesty and Clarity in Public Language. Solomon’s incisive analysis and 
 scathing foreign policy critiques are also hallmarks of his other books, 
 including War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to 
 Death and Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You (co-authored 
 with foreign correspondent Reese Erlich) published in January 2003, two 
 months before then-President George W. Bush ordered the invasion and 
 occupation of Iraq.\n
