The Real Story examines how television news covers a story and then goes beyond the headlines. Coming soon this will be a regular feature on The Real News Network.
Join Senior Editor Paul Jay with journalist and writer Eric Margolis as they discuss the coverage of the civil war in Iraq. Margolis says: “The United States has played a major role in fueling the civil war, something the American media is not telling the American people.”
Eric Margolis is an internationally syndicated columnist and renowned book author. He’s a veteran Korea-watcher who specializes in north Asian military/strategic affairs. He’s been all over the DMZ and produced his documentary there last year featuring a segment from Panmunjom on the DMZ. Two special areas of focus: 1. What would a war actually look like if one erupted? 2. The geopolitics of the region – the Koreas, Japan, China, Russia, the US. Eric was a regular columnist for Japan's Mainichi Shimbun and is a long-time member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
