The Media Goes to War

How will the media cover an Iraq war? That's what Danny Schechter wonders.

"Will there be less sanitized coverage, and more coverage of the war's costs and consequences? Will media organizations learn from past mistakes and fight for fuller access and uncensored coverage?"

Probably not. "The signs are not encouraging," Schechter says. As usual, propaganda will likely be the order of the day.
