SUMMARY:Bad News: How the Media Marched Us to War in Iraq and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:American mainstream media utterly failed its duty to the public
  in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq\, largely opting to cheerlead (rat
 her than question) the Bush administration’s arguments and plans for the
  war.   Twenty years later\, the consequences of this failure still rever
 berate. Has the media learned any lessons from the Iraq war\, or are journ
 alists today repeating the very same mistakes? What does media coverage of
  recent events — like President Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan\,
   President Trump’s strikes on Syria\, or Russia’s war in Ukraine —
  tell us about the fourth estate’s approach to American foreign policy a
 nd wars?  Join us on Wednesday\, March 22\, from 4–5:30 PM ET online or 
 in-person at the Lindner Family Commons of George Washington University’
 s Elliott School for a discussion of the media’s role in war and peace. 
 We’ll be joined by three journalists who have gotten it right — Reuter
 s’ Jonathan Landay\, one of the few mainstream journalists to challenge 
 the administration’s WMD claims\, Responsible Statecraft’s Kelley Beau
 car Vlahos\, who took on Bush’s war policies from heterodox conservative
  platforms\, and Jewish Currents’ Peter Beinart\, who as an editor of th
 e New Republic supported the war but later became a leading critic — f
 or a discussion moderated by Breaking Points’ Krystal Ball\, a clarion v
 oice in modern media for independent analysis on U.S. foreign policy.   Th
 is event is sponsored by the Quincy Institute\, with co-sponsorship from t
 he Institute for Middle East Studies at George Washington University\, The
  Nation magazine\, and Breaking Points podcast\, and additional support fr
 om the John Quincy Adams Society's George Washington University Chapter.
