Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber, co-authors of the Center's 2003 book Weapons of Mass Deception [3], appear in filmmaker Danny Schechter's latest movie of the same title, but the movie is completely the creation of Schechter. A review on the Portland Independent Media website asks "what do you get when you cross relaxed media ownership laws, the military industrial complex, and public opinion? Weapons of Mass Deception [4]. Insider turned outsider Danny Schechter makes his case in this expose of the mainstream media's 'fuzzy' coverage of the run-up to war. He shows us how with a little marketing, there's a sucker born every minute. If I only had a brain. The market makers, the PR firms, the embedded journalists, the 'fuzzy' coverage, the spin, and yes, even the lies...it's all in there. ... Schechter shows you how pseudo-patriotism, lack of 'guts', and trying to 'sell it', got in the way of delivering an important message...the entire truth." You can hear an interview with Schechter on Democracy Now [5].
