Not his film. Read too hurriedly. Still, it looks interesting.

Controversial new film exposes role media played promoting Iraq war. Was the Press Selling or Telling?
Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 25, 2004 -- With mass media focused on Michael Moore's new film bashing President Bush, another feature-length documentary titled, WMD (Weapons of Mass Deception) is destined to stir as much controversy as it takes on the media itself, and its role in promoting the Iraq war in the guise of covering it. Produced by Emmy Award Winning Danny Schechter, the News Dissector, a former ABC and CNN producer and for many years a fixture in Boston media. The filmmaker is the author of six books on media issues including his latest Embedded, about the reporting from Iraq published by Prometheus Books. WMD - investigates collusion between the military, giant media companies and the government.
The film screens on Boston Premiere Screening - Event: Boston Political Film Festival Sunday, July 25 @ 7:00 PM - 38 Cameron Street, an events center in N. Cambridge, MA.
Also, screening on Tuesday, July 27 @ 2:30 PM at Simmons College and on Thursday, July 29 @ 6:00 PM at West End Public Library 9 p.m. "We have heard a lot of "chatter" about "intelligence failures" and "policy failures," says outspoken Director Schechter, a former Nieman Fellow in Journalism: "Now it's time to look at media failures” because The Administration could never have won support for its deceptive policies if the media was not complicit. George Bush should win the Emmy for TV producing."...."
I had not heard of this one.
He appears tomorrow at this Take Back America conference. Dean is first, then Moore.
