What Is Buying the War About?

The premise of Buying the War without spoilers.

Examining how the mainstream press became a cheerleader for the 2003 Iraq invasion, this 2007 documentary originally aired on Bill Moyers Journal reveals how major media embraced the pre‑emptive war narrative while overlooking its human cost—an estimated 189,000 deaths, more than $2 trillion spent, and lasting devastation for Iraq. Moyers probes why the media got it so wrong and the impact on public perception.
