The documentary film by Bill Moyers - Buying the War will be shown by Current Events Theater at the Rancho San Diego Library on Sunday, Jul 27th, at 2 p.m. (refreshments at 1:30 p.m.). "Buying the War" examines the press coverage in the lead-up to the war as evidence of a paradigm shift in the role of journalists in democracy and asks, four years after the invasion, what's changed? Bill Moyers says "How the administration marketed the war to the American people has been well covered, but critical questions remain: How and why did the press buy it, and what does it say about the role of journalists in helping the public sort out fact from propaganda?" Admission is free and open to the public. The library located at 11555 Via Rancho San Diego, 92019. Info: (619) 933-1526 or http://www.ecdcweb.org.
