The War You Don't See
Focusing on Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel, australian journalist John Pilger explains how the practice of “embedding” journalists within the military not only controls what they’re allowed to see but also how they’re allowed to report it. This explains among other things why Basra was reported to have fallen 17 times before it actually did and how the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s statue was a made-for-TV moment (only btw: remember the reports on WTC7 crashing one hour before the event really happened?)
