Brecht Forum, 451 West Street (between Bethune & Bank Streets)
New York

A book party/forum featuring Extra! writer Robin Andersen and FAIR founder Jeff Cohen will discuss the connections between the media and war and the challenges this presents for the left. They will explore how the selection of which stories are told and which are ignored helps justify past battles and ensure future wars as well as the ways new technologies have helped turn the nightly news and talk show into "infotainment."
