5:21Now PlayingA new analysis of corporate TV news has found there was almost no debate about whether the United States should go to war in Iraq and Syria. The group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting found that of the more than 200 guests who appeared on network shows to discuss the issue, just six voiced opposition to military action. The report, titled "Debating How Not Whether to Launch a New War," examines a twoweek period in September when U.S. involvement in Iraq and Syria dominated the airwaves. The report also finds that on the highprofile Sunday talk shows, out of 89 guests, there was just one antiwar voice Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation. We speak to Peter Hart, activism director at FAIR.
