DESCRIPTION:Hey friends,  This is a reminder to join CorpWatch THIS Sunday, November 
 21st to preview a new film by Danny Schechter, the "News Dissector," titled 
 WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception. In out previous email we forgot to mention 
 that the event is $5-$10 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of 
 funds. So come on out!  Directed by one of America's most prolific media 
 critics, this 100 minute film analyzes the collusion between the military 
 and the media "news coverage" of the Iraq war. A call to action against the 
 concentration of media ownership and a challenge to further develop 
 Independent media. WMD busts through so-called "objective reporting" to 
 challenge media complicity with the government in presenting the Iraq War 
 the way it did. This is a hard-hitting, yet personal film that looks at the 
 television war and asks why the American audience lapped it up and how the 
 Pentagon helped shape media coverage.  Danny Schechter is an award winning 
 journalist, writer, and filmmaker on media issues. He is also a founder of 
 Globalvision, Inc., an award-winning media company formed in l987, and the 
 executive editor of MediaChannel.org, a website dedicated to media issues. 
 His broad experience includes being the news director and principal 
 newscaster for WBCN-FM and working as a news program producer and 
 investigative reporter at CNN and ABC. His articles have appeared in many 
 publications such as Newsday, Boston Globe, Columbia Journalism Review, 
 Detroit Free Press, Village Voice, and others.  Also at the screening, 
 Pratap Chatterjee will present CorpWatch's new book, "Iraq, Inc.: A 
 Profitable Occupation," published by Seven Stories Press, which details the 
 failure of the companies hired to rebuild the country. "A powerful 
 combination of investigative research and on-the-ground reporting." -Naomi 
 Klein, author No Logo, columnist The Guardian, UK. "Iraq, Inc., is the 
 ultimate primer of how modern U.S. invasion and occupation for profit is 
 being waged. You won't learn any of this on the evening news." -Amy 
 Goodman, host of Democracy Now!  Click on the following link for more

 We will show two screenings, one at 5:30pm and one at 8:00pm on Sunday, 
 November 21st, $5-$10 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds.
