View the 90 m. docu "Buying the War" here.

Thanks to Carol and Steve at Pick a Cup Coffee Shop -- and Dale especially -- for a successful event. People can be convinced to watch tv away from home. I counted fifteen heads -- perhaps the optimal number for a venue of this size -- including several interested in media reform activism.

Listen to the pre-broadcast online q & a mp3 here. In it, Moyers urges people to organize to improve media, incl. public tv & radio. Moyers blog here. 4/23 NPR here. Knight-Ridder's Landay on FAIR's CounterSpin (3/19/04) here. (added 4/26)

original post: Enjoy good coffee, food, and conversation and watch the broadcast of the premiere installment of the new PBS series "Bill Moyers Journal". It features the new documentary "Buying the War". Read review, YouTube preview clip above.

8PM Wednesday, April 25 at Pick a Cup Coffee House, 1813 Dempster, Evanston (1/2 block east of Dodge and Dempster)

"Buying the War" documents "the lies that the Bush administration told to sell the Iraq War to the American public, with a special focus on how the media led the charge... you’ll never watch television news again - not even on PBS, which comes in for its share of criticism." -- David Swanson, AfterDowningStreet.org

* This free event is organized by Chicago Media Action and Free Press.
* Coffee and food will be available for purchase.
* "Bill Moyers Journal" will air at 9:30PM Fridays starting April 27th.

Evanston too far away? Here's a link to find a similar event closer to you.

(Please Note: It’s safe to watch PBS / WTTW in the case of "Bill Moyers Journal". You won’t get the cooties or be fooled into a stupid war or anything.)
