Produced - 2007 The Bush administration marketed and sold the war in Iraq to the American people. How and why did the press buy it, and what does that say about the role of journalists in helping the public sort out fact from propaganda? In this program, veteran journalist Bill Moyers, award-winning producer Kathleen Hughes, and their investigative team piece together the reporting and political spin that shaped the public mind prior to, during, and following the 2003 invasion. Exposing the disappearance of a watchdog mentality in mainstream newspaper and TV journalism, the documentary also highlights the work of intrepid Knight Ridder reporters who dug beneath the surface of administration claims—only to be drowned out by the drums of war. Further insight comes from journalists Dan Rather, former anchor of CBS Evening News; Tim Russert of NBC’s Meet the Press; Bob Simon of 60 Minutes; and Walter Isaacson, former chairman of CNN. (87 minutes)
 Produced - 2008 John McCain has secured the Republican nomination, but after denouncing religious extremism eight years ago, can he win the hearts and minds of the Christian right? In this program, Bill Moyers reports on popular conservative evangelist John Hagee—leader of the politically powerful group Christians United for Israel—and his controversial endorsement of McCain. Afterward, Moyers talks about the state and future of conservatism in light of McCain’s nomination with former Congressman Mickey Edwards (R-OK), author of Reclaiming Conservatism, and Matt Welch, editor of Reason magazine and author of McCain: The Myth of a Maverick. (54 minutes)
Produced - 2004 Twenty-five years after the Islamic Revolution, Iran is struggling for political reform. Some of the most visible signs of struggle can be found in the nation’s media. This Wide Angle documentary goes behind the scenes at Shargh, one of Iran’s new pro-reform newspapers, illustrating its efforts to report the news without incurring the “blade of censorship”—an ever-present threat from Iranian authorities. Showing how Shargh has quickly cultivated a loyal readership among Iran’s intellectuals, opinion-makers, politicians, and youth, the program features eye-opening scenes of daring young journalists covering Iran’s controversial 2005 presidential elections. In addition, Judith Kipper discusses Iran with anchor Bill Moyers. (57 minutes)
