Media Wars is a timely assessment of what we are and are not being told in the most important story of our new century.
"Limiting access, limiting information to cover the backsides of those who are in charge of the war, is extremely dangerous and cannot and should not be accepted. And I am sorry to say that, up to and including the moment of this interview, that overwhelmingly it has been accepted by the American people. And the current administration revels in that, and they take refuge in that". -CBS News Anchor Dan Rather on BBC News Night, May 16, 2002.
