A tale of Wikileaks and war propaganda
Posted: July 29th, 2010
In tonight’s broadcast we take a critical look at the media circus surrounding the latest Wikileaks release.
Breaking with their usual practice, the Wikileaks organisation have released this story directly through the mainstream press with simultaneous publications in The Guardian, Der Spiegel and the New York Times.
A disturbing outcome is that information in the leaked documents is being used by the media to incriminate Pakistan in the Afghan war.
The Pakistan connection was the top story on the BBC World News on the day the documents were released. The Pakistan Government is vehemently rejecting these accusations and a Pakistani government spokesperson said that the whole affair was an attempt to sabotage the US/Pakistan relationship. This comes at a time when the US is stepping up predator drone attacks against targets in Pakistan.
Clearly, there are multiple agendas at work here.
In the second half of the show I am joined by Josh Jackson to review the new blockbuster film Inception.
As usual, we cover all the major breaking stories on our twitter stream. Happy listening!
