In todays video, I conducted interview with Kelly Vlahos, of the Quincy Institute For Responsible Statecraft. We spoke about the Media's role in starting and continuing the Iraq War and other conflicts after the Iraq War. We also touched on how the Media machine works, hiring ex-generals, lazy journalism and access.
